Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Thousands of people are working daily in a dusty environment. Many studied reported respiratory symptoms and ventilatory disorders among Factory workers who exposed to cement dust. But the evidence for respiratory effect and daily activities over a long time of cement dust exposure has not been conclusive

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Occupational Diseases	Diagnostic Test: questionaire and ventilatory function test

Detailed Description

A total of 49 subjects working in a cement production factory were assessed and divided into three groups according to the total period of work exposure. Groupe A (18 subjects) with work period < 10 years, group B (13 subjects) with work period 10-15 years, group C (18 subjects) with work period > 15 years. The ventilatory functions, oxygen saturation, and quality of life were assessed in the three groups. RESULTS: The study results revealed a statistically significant difference between the three groups in the mean values of FVC (%), FEV1/FVC (%), SPO2.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
less than 10 years working workers who work in cement factories in a period of time less than 10 years	Diagnostic Test: questionaire and ventilatory function test; we assessed the arterial blood gases and the ventilatory functions and quality of life of whole three groups
from 10-15 years working workers who work in cement factories in a period of time from 10-15 years	Diagnostic Test: questionaire and ventilatory function test; we assessed the arterial blood gases and the ventilatory functions and quality of life of whole three groups
more than 15 years working workers who work in cement factories in a period of time more than 15 years	Diagnostic Test: questionaire and ventilatory function test; we assessed the arterial blood gases and the ventilatory functions and quality of life of whole three groups

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. The ventilatory functions [8 months]

   ventilatory function tests were used to assess FVC (%), FEV1/FVC (%),PEF (%), FEV1 (%)

2. oxygen saturation [8 months]

   measuring oxygen saturation using SPo2

3. quality of life were assessed [8 months]

   the mean values of the physical functioning item and energy/fatigue item in the quality of life questionnaire
