Examination of Potential Sources of Bias in the US Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program
Objectives. We examined the potential influences of certain selection factors on the utility of the Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP) data for tracking disease distribution and trends. Methods. We combined data from the CWHSP and the Energy Information Administration to examine any influence of variable worker participation on observed disease prevalence. We evaluated effects of differential participation by coal mining region, te…
Potential Determinants of Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis, Advanced Pneumoconiosis, and Progressive Massive Fibrosis Among Underground Coal Miners in the United States, 2005–2009
Objectives. We better defined the distribution and determinants of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) among US underground coal miners. Methods. We obtained chest radiographs from the mobile unit of an enhanced surveillance program begun in 2005 by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health for underground coal miners. B Readers classified them for presence of pneumoconiosis. Results. Miners from 15 states participated (n = 6658). …
