โœฆ Synopsis

KEY WORDS: occupational asthma; prevalence; incidence

We found the study of occupational asthma among HMO members by of interest, not least because there has been little research into the incidence of occupational asthma as seen by community physicians.

However, in their commentary on this study, Wagner and Wegman [1998] hail the discovery that the prevalence of asthma attributed to occupations is almost an order of magnitude higher than figures from occupational lung disease surveillance schemes . The latter describe incidence, and given the low rate of recovery from occupational asthma , it is to be expect-ed that the prevalence would be an order of magnitude higher.

Occupational asthma may account for a significant proportion of adult-onset asthma, but incidence estimates from surveillance of physician reports and workers'compensation data (0.9 to 15/100,000) are lower than expected from community-based cross-sectional studies of asthma patients. We conducted a
