Abstract

This registry-based case-control study aimed to assess the association between asbestos deposits in the birthplace and/or residence and nonmalignant pleural findings, namely pleural plaques (PPs) and pleural thickening (PT), on chest CT scans. In total, 39,472 CT scans obtained over five years in a tertiary referral hospital in Ankara, Turkey, were evaluated. Cases involving patients with PP (n = 537), PT (n = 263), PP&PT (n = 69), and controls (n = 543) from the same study base without those conditions were included. Each case group was compared to controls using unconditional logistic regression. The presence of asbestos deposits in the district of birthplace (adjusted OR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.35-3.37) and both birthplace and residence (aOR = 4.32, 95% CI: 2.26-8.27) was significantly related to the PPs. As the importance of environmental asbestos exposure in Turkey continues, future prospective studies could contribute to developing screening strategies.

环境石棉暴露和非恶性胸膜发现:五年胸部CT库的回顾性评估。

这项基于登记的病例对照研究旨在评估出生地和/或居住地的石棉沉积物与胸部CT扫描的非恶性胸膜发现(即胸膜斑块(PPs)和胸膜增厚(PT))之间的关系。对土耳其安卡拉一家三级转诊医院五年来获得的39 472次CT扫描结果进行了评估。包括来自同一研究基础的PP (n = 537)、PT (n = 263)、PP&PT (n = 69)和对照组(n = 543)患者，但没有这些情况。使用无条件逻辑回归将每个病例组与对照组进行比较。出生地区(调整后OR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.35-3.37)以及出生地和居住地(调整后OR = 4.32, 95% CI: 2.26-8.27)石棉沉积物的存在与PPs显著相关。随着土耳其环境石棉暴露的重要性继续存在，未来的前瞻性研究可能有助于制定筛查策略。

期刊介绍： Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health , originally founded in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene, and perhaps most well-known as the Archives of Environmental Health, reports, integrates, and consolidates the latest research, both nationally and internationally, from fields germane to environmental health, including epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling and biostatistics, risk science and biochemistry. Publishing new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussion to put this work in perspective for public health, public policy, and sustainability, the Archives addresses such topics of current concern as health significance of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and the environmental causation of disease such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For more than 90 years, this noted journal has provided objective documentation of the effects of environmental agents on human and, in some cases, animal populations and information of practical importance on which decisions are based.
