The aims of the study are to investigate the survival status and its influencing factors of pneumoconiosis patients and to analyze the disease burden and its trend in Jiangsu Province.
We used the life table and Cox model to analyze the survival status. The disease burden and its temporal trend were examined using the disability-adjusted life years (DALY).
The average survival time was 16.22 ± 10.11 years. First diagnosis age, first diagnosis stage, and upgrade of stages were crucial risk factors for the survival. The cumulative DALY was 154,500.83 person-years. The DALY attributed to silicosis, coal worker pneumoconiosis, and welder's pneumoconiosis were 99,806.72 (64.60%), 35,483.21 (22.97%), and 37,85.83 (2.45%) person-years, respectively.
Although the disease burden of pneumoconiosis is decreasing because of the implementation of relevant health policies and improved medical standards, the prevention and control of pneumoconiosis still need greater attention.
本研究旨在调查尘肺病患者的生存状况及其影响因素,并分析江苏省尘肺病的疾病负担及其变化趋势。
采用寿命表和 Cox 模型分析生存状况,采用伤残调整生命年(DALY)分析疾病负担及其时间趋势。
平均生存时间为 16.22±10.11 年。首次诊断年龄、首次诊断期别和期别升级是生存的关键危险因素。累积 DALY 为 154500.83 人年。矽肺、煤工尘肺和电焊工尘肺导致的 DALY 分别为 99806.72(64.60%)、35483.21(22.97%)和 3785.83(2.45%)人年。
尽管由于相关卫生政策的实施和医疗水平的提高,尘肺病的疾病负担呈下降趋势,但仍需加强对尘肺病的防治。
