    Rozman, Aleš, 1973- ...
    Background In Slovenia reside several thousand people with occupational asbestos exposure. The purpose of our study was to determine the qualily of teratment in patients with asbestos-induced ... disease, severity and pattern of disease. We tried to establish whether the pattern of disease has changed during last 15 years in according with decreasing sources of asbestos exposure. Methods In a retrospective study we analyzed records of 109 patientswith asbestos-induced disease, who were treated at KOPA Golnik hospital between June 2003 and June 2005. The data were compared with data from group of 105 patients, who were treated in hospital between years 1980 and 1988. We analyzed demographic data, exposure data, symptoms, pulmonary funnction data, radiological data and presence of coexisting diseases. Results49.5% of records did not include some data about asbestos exposure suchas description of the work post, latency period, duration and intensity ofexposure. Inconsistencies are also in imaging usage. In comparison with similar group of patients from eighties, patients in this study were average more than 10 years older, smaller share of them came from Anhovo, and the share of patients who worked in direct contact with asbestos is decreasing. Patients from the present group have a different pattern of disease with less interstitial lung changes and diffuse pleural thickenings, but more pleural plaques. Conclusions The pattern of asbestos-induced disease in Slovenia has been changing in direction of lesser severity, because the intensity of exposure is on the decrease. This calls for more systematical and unified collecting of all parameters, necessary for diagnosing of asbestos-induced disease.
