Abstract:

Objective To analyze the reports of suspected occupational diseases and the subsequent diagnoses in Deyang City from 2014 to 2024,aiming to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of occupational diseases. Methods Collect information on suspected occupational disease cases reported in Deyang City from 2014 to 2024,analyze the distribution characteristics of suspected occupational diseases,match them with reported occupational diseases,and further analyze the subsequent diagnosis of suspected occupational diseases. Results From 2014 to 2024,a total of 1 450 suspected occupational diseases were reported in Deyang City,including 349 suspected cases of pneumoconiosis,934 suspected cases of ear,nose,throat,and oral diseases,152 suspected cases of occupational chemical poisoning,and 15 suspected cases of other occupational diseases.The majority of these cases involved males,with a peak concentration in the 45-<50 age group.The predominant industry affected was manufacturing,while the economic type and scale predominantly involved private enterprises and small businesses.Out of the 1 450 suspected cases,538 progressed to the diagnosis phase,representing a diagnosis rate of 37.10%.Among these,344 were confirmed,yielding a confirmation rate of 63.94%. Conclusion There are many suspected occupational disease cases in Deyang City,with low diagnostic rate and confirmed rate,indicating occupational health risks.Government departments should intensify their supervision of key industries and enhance quality control measures for occupational health examination institutions.Additionally,there is a need to improve the professional competence of lead physicians to increase the diagnosis rate.
