Retrospective cohort study identifies key mortality risk factors in pneumoconiosis cases, highlighting urgent occupational health needs.
Stage III at initial diagnosis was an independent risk factor for mortality, while employment in mining/manufacturing, work in medium-sized enterprises, and younger age at onset also significantly increased the risk of death. Occupational health interventions should therefore focus on high-risk industries and enterprises, and enhance monitoring and management of both early-onset and advanced-stage patients. Delaying disease progression and implementing early health management are of critical public health importance for improving overall survival.
