The aim of this study was to examine the long-term effects of neurological decompression illness (NDCI) on recreational divers. Thirty-seven divers who had been treated for neurological decompression illness at least 2 years previously, and a control group of 50 divers with no history of decompression illness, responded to a postal questionnaire. Divers in the accident group reported more symptoms of neurological damage, were more likely to believe that diving had a deleterious effect on their health and were more likely to indicate symptoms of psychiatric morbidity. The quantity of diving in the year preceding the survey was associated with reports of neurological damage in both groups and with symptoms of psychiatric morbidity in the accident group. Although requiring confirmation from a longitudinal study, these results suggest that recreational diving can have negative long-term consequences for health, particularly after decompression illness.
本研究的目的是调查神经减压病（NDCI）对休闲潜水员的长期影响。37名至少在两年前接受过神经减压病治疗的潜水员，以及50名无减压病病史的潜水员组成的对照组，回复了一份邮寄问卷。事故组的潜水员报告了更多神经损伤症状，更有可能认为潜水对他们的健康有有害影响，并且更有可能表现出精神疾病症状。调查前一年的潜水量与两组的神经损伤报告以及事故组的精神疾病症状有关。尽管需要纵向研究来证实，但这些结果表明，休闲潜水可能会对健康产生负面长期影响，尤其是在发生减压病之后。
