BACKGROUND
We applied the well-established, but rather under-utilized, indicator of Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL) to estimate the global burden of mesothelioma and asbestosis.
METHODS
We analyzed all deaths caused by mesothelioma and asbestosis that were reported by 82 and 55 countries, respectively, to the World Health Organization (WHO) from 1994 to 2010.
RESULTS
The 128,015 and 13,885 persons who died of mesothelioma and asbestosis, potentially lost a total of 2.18 million and 180,000 years of life (PYLL), or, an annual average PYLL of 201,000 years and 17,000 years, respectively. The average PYLL per decedent were 17.0 and 13.0 years for mesothelioma and asbestosis, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The current burden of asbestos-related diseases (ARDs) in terms of PYLL is substantial. The future burden of ARDs can be eliminated by stopping the use of asbestos.
背景
我们应用了一种已被广泛认可但应用不足的指标——潜在寿命损失年数（PYLL），来评估全球间皮瘤和石棉肺的疾病负担。
方法
我们分析了自 1994 年至 2010 年期间，分别有 82 个和 55 个国家向世界卫生组织（WHO）报告的所有因间皮瘤和石棉肺而导致的死亡病例。
结果
128015 人和 13885 人死于间皮瘤和石棉肺，潜在生命损失总计 218 万和 18 万生命年（PYLL），或每年平均 PYLL 分别为 201000 年和 17000 年。间皮瘤和石棉肺的每位死者的平均 PYLL 分别为 17.0 年和 13.0 年。
结论
目前，PYLL 所代表的与石棉相关的疾病（ARDs）的负担是巨大的。通过停止使用石棉，可以消除未来 ARDs 的疾病负担。
