Abstract

Abstract

Objective To analyze the level of disease burden and temporal trend of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) in China from 1990 to 2019. Methods The detailed data on CWP extracted from the database of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) was used to evaluate the disease burden and temporal trend of CWP in the Chinese population. The data included prevalent cases, incident cases, death cases, and indicators concerning disease burden such as disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Results In China, prevalent cases of CWP decreased by 1.44% from 87 555 in 1990 to 86 296 in 2019; incident cases of CWP decreased by 8.73% from 5 450 in 1990 to 4 974 in 2019; deaths of CWP decreased by 21.61% from 1 661 in 1990 to 1 302 in 2019; DALYs of CWP decreased by 27.70% from 57 206.70 person-years in 1990 to 41 359.25 person-years in 2019. The age-standardized prevalence, incidence, mortality, and DALY rates of CWP in China decreased since 1990, with AAPCs of -2.75%, -2.53%, -3.67%, and -3.73%, respectively. And the disease burden of CWP was mainly caused by male groups. Compared with 1990, more elderly workers in China in 2019 suffered from or died of CWP. The age-standardized indicators of CWP in China were all higher than those globally from 1990 to 2019, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). Conclusions The disease burden caused by CWP in China showed a downward trend in general, indicating that the prevention and control of CWP in China had obtained certain achievements. However, the incident cases of CWP in China remained at a high level, and the age-standardized indicators were still higher than those globally. Therefore, more efforts are needed to pay attention to the prevention and control of CWP in China.
