矽肺病人康复疗养的效果观察

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF SANITARIUM STAY ON PATIENTS WITH SIMPLE SILICOSIS

本文对某矿山152名有康复疗养机会的单纯Ⅰ期矽肺病人的效果进行了调查,另174名无康复疗养的单纯Ⅰ期矽肺病人作为对照。结果表明,单纯Ⅰ期矽肺病人有康复疗养机会者,其进期率、肺结核合并率、病死率均较无康复疗养者显著降低;而进期或合并肺结核的平均时间以及平均死亡年龄,确诊至死亡的平均年限显著延长。

This investigation on rehabilitation was performed on 152 cases of patientswith simple silicosis stage Ⅰ who had the opportunity to stay at a sanitarium.174 cases of simple silicosis stage Ⅰ who had no opportunity to stay at a sani-tarium served as the control group. The results indicate that the rate of pro-gression in silicosis stage,the rate of complication with tuberculosis,and the rateof mortality in the sanitarium group were all less than that of the control group;the mean duration tetween diagnosis and progress stages, between diagnosis andonset of complication with tuberculosis, the average age of death, and the meanduration from diagnosis to death were all significantly greater in the sanitarium group to the control group.
