OBJECTIVE
To identify factors associated with health care professional-diagnosed work-related asthma (WRA) among adults who describe their asthma as being caused or made worse by workplace exposures (possible WRA).
METHODS
We calculated prevalence ratios adjusted for age and sex using data from the 2006 to 2008 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Asthma Call-Back Survey from 37 states and the District of Columbia for ever-employed adults with current asthma and possible WRA.
RESULTS
An estimated 17.6% of ever-employed adults with current asthma and possible WRA had health care professional-diagnosed WRA. Health care professional-diagnosed WRA was associated with age, income, employment status, asthma control level, asthma attack, emergency department visit, hospitalization, urgent treatment, and changing/quitting a job due to asthma.
CONCLUSIONS
Among ever-employed adults with possible WRA, health care professional-diagnosed WRA is associated with poorer asthma control and frequent unscheduled health care visits.
目的
确定与工作场所暴露导致或加重哮喘（可能的职业性哮喘）的成年人中，医疗保健专业人员诊断的职业相关哮喘（WRA）相关的因素。
方法
我们使用来自 37 个州和哥伦比亚特区的 2006 年至 2008 年行为风险因素监测系统哮喘随访调查的数据，对年龄和性别进行了调整，计算了当前患有哮喘和可能的 WRA 的曾有过职业经历的成年人的患病率比。
结果
估计有 17.6%的当前患有哮喘和可能的 WRA 的曾有过职业经历的成年人患有医疗保健专业人员诊断的 WRA。医疗保健专业人员诊断的 WRA 与年龄、收入、就业状况、哮喘控制水平、哮喘发作、急诊就诊、住院、紧急治疗以及因哮喘改变/辞职有关。
结论
在可能患有 WRA 的曾有过职业经历的成年人中，医疗保健专业人员诊断的 WRA 与较差的哮喘控制和频繁的非计划性医疗保健就诊有关。
