  • Title: [Factors forecasting risk of lumbosacral radiculopathy and comorbid diseases development in coal miners].
    Author: Yakovleva NV, Gorblyanskiy YY, Pictushanskaya TE.
    Journal: Med Tr Prom Ekol; 2016; (9):23-27. PubMed ID: 30351678.
    Abstract:
    The authors constructed forecasting models of risk for occupational lumbosacral radiculopathy combined with vibration disease and occupational neurosensory deafness in coal miners suffering from lower back pain and signs of occupational hazards influence on health state. Scientific basis covered determination of high and low risk groups for health disorders in miners, according to calculations within suggested formula in forecasting models. Findings are that each year following primary diagnosis of lower back pain and signs of occupational hazards influence on health state, probability of occupational lumbosacral radiculopathy combined with vibration disease increased by-1S% (OR = 1.15 1; 95% CI = 1.105-1.200), combined with occupational neurosensory deafness - by 5% (OR = 1.054, 95% CI = 1.097- 1.507). Probability to get occupational neurosensory deafness combined with occupational lumbosacral radiculopathy was maximal in miners aged 30-39, and combination of vibration disease and radiculopathy was more frequent in miners aged 40-49 (OR = 1.542; 95% CI = 1.154-2.062).
