Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to share the process of epidemiologic survey and demonstrate the decisive factors for evaluating work-related Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) in Korea.
Methods: Data and reports of epidemiologic surveys were investigated and completed during 2010-2022.
Results: A total of 228 idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) cases requested for an epidemiologic survey, of which 153 (67.1%) were work-related. The level of exposure intensity was more than intermediate and the exposure duration was more than 10 years in the work-related IPF, so the decisive factors for work-related IPF were exposure substances, intensity and duration.The main factors for work-related acute interstitial pneumonia or cryptogenic organising pneumonia were exposure latency and exposure intensity.
Conclusions: The results of this study indicated the process of the epidemiologic survey and important factors for evaluating work-related IIPs.
