Abstract

Background: The study aimed to examine the conditions and factors affecting pneumoconiosis cases to determine the dimensions of the pneumoconiosis problem.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary research hospital between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2021. Five hundred ninety-seven patients with pneumo- coniosis were included in the study.

Results: Large opacities were detected in 157 cases. When we compared cases with and without Pulmonary Massive Fibrosis (PMF), age and concomitant pulmonary disease were higher in PMF cases, which also showed lower FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC. PMF was more frequent in subjects with long dust exposure duration (more than 20 years) and concomitant pulmonary diseases, particularly tuberculosis. Three occupations, sandblasters, dental technicians, and ceramic workers, showed the earliest onset of pneumoconiosis.

Conclusions: The study presents pneumoconiosis data in a mixed and large population and contributes to the imple- mentation of evidence-based policies and interventions for countries like Turkey striving to cope with the problem of pneumoconiosis.

土耳其尘肺病例系列的描述性研究。

背景:本研究旨在探讨影响尘肺病例的条件和因素，以确定尘肺问题的维度。方法:回顾性研究于2014年1月1日至2021年12月31日在某三级研究型医院进行。597例肺尘肺患者被纳入研究。结果:157例患者检出大浑浊。当我们比较有和没有肺大纤维化(PMF)的病例时，PMF病例的年龄和合并肺部疾病较高，FEV1、FVC和FEV1/FVC也较低。PMF在长期接触粉尘(超过20年)并伴有肺部疾病(特别是肺结核)的受试者中更为常见。喷砂工、牙科技师和陶瓷工人是尘肺病发病最早的职业。结论:该研究提供了混合和大量人群的尘肺病数据，有助于为土耳其等努力应对尘肺病问题的国家实施循证政策和干预措施。
