Results from a correlation survey which compared radiological and physiological findings during life with detailed morbid anatomical findings in the lungs of 247 deceased miners and ex-miners with pneumoconiosis were used to assess the extent and significance of their pulmonary disability.Coal workers' pneumoconiosis usually caused progressive impairment of ventilation, which in the simple type of disease was not related to radiological category. In such cases the presence of emphysema was found to be a more important factor in determining the impairment of ventilation than the radiological category of simple pneumoconiosis.
一项相关性调查的结果被用于评估247名已故尘肺病矿工和前矿工肺部的致残程度及重要性。该调查将生前的放射学和生理学检查结果与详细的病理解剖学发现进行了比较。煤工尘肺通常会导致通气功能逐渐受损，在单纯型疾病中，这种损害与放射学分类无关。在这些病例中，发现肺气肿的存在比单纯尘肺病的放射学分类在决定通气功能损害方面是一个更重要的因素。
