[Formation and structural features of morbidity in miners with professional pathology of the peripheral nervous system and the musculoskeletal system].

Abstract

There were studied polypathy rates, their relationship with the professional pathology in Kuzbass miners. There was performed the analysis of an array of more than 2000 patients with occupational pathology and also 1800 records from for the coal miners hospitals for patients with no signs of occupational diseases. The rise in morbidity rate of polypathies was turned out to be associated with a very low proportion (less than 20%) of patients' preventive visits. It is advisable to introduce the financial incentives for doctors share for the rise of the number of healthy individuals in the enterprise, for detection rate of chronic general and occupational diseases at the early stages of the disease and for reducing of incidence of polypathies.
