A survey of American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) members was conducted to determine their degree of involvement in the diagnosis and prevention of occupational and environmental respiratory disease (OERD). Although the response rate was relatively low, the results are likely to be representative. Calculations based on the data estimate that in the prior year, chest physicians on the average saw 15 patients with OERD caused by work, 13 worsened by work, and 28 affected by the home environment. Asthma appears to be a more common occupational or environmental concern than pulmonary fibrosis. Chest physicians clearly perceived a need for more education in OERD. The survey also demonstrated that although many chest physicians perform routine industrial surveillance testing, it is often done without using standardized methods. Furthermore, chest physicians are actively involved with medical/legal aspects of OERD. Overall, the survey documents the role of chest physicians in the area of OERD and emphasizes significant educational needs.
为确定美国胸科医师学会（ACCP）成员参与职业性和环境性呼吸道疾病（OERD）诊断与预防工作的程度，开展了一项针对该学会成员的调查。尽管回复率相对较低，但结果可能具有代表性。根据数据估算，在前一年，胸科医师平均诊治了15名因工作导致的OERD患者、13名因工作病情加重的患者以及28名受家庭环境影响的患者。哮喘似乎比肺纤维化更常见于职业或环境方面的问题。胸科医师明确意识到需要接受更多关于OERD的教育。该调查还表明，尽管许多胸科医师进行常规的工业监测检测，但往往未采用标准化方法。此外，胸科医师积极参与OERD的医疗/法律事务。总体而言，该调查记录了胸科医师在OERD领域的作用，并强调了显著的教育需求。
