Overview
Prognosis is generally poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%. [1] [2]
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of pneumoconiosis typically develop 10-20 years after exposure to the specific particle, for example, silica in the case of silicosis.
Complications
- Common complications of pneumoconiosis include: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
- Pulmonary fibrosis (accelerated by concomitant cigarette smoking)
- Emphysema
- COPD
- Pleural effusion
- Pleural plaques
- Malignant Mesothelioma (Asbestosis)
- Carcinoma
- Tuberculosis
- Scleroderma
- SLE
- Glomerulonephritis
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Cor pulmonale
- Respiratory failure
- Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis (Silicosis)
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Chronic kidney disease
- Sarcoidosis
- Bronchitis
Prognosis
The prognosis for pneumoconiosis is poor and leads to respiratory complications and premature death. The prognosis is deemed to be poor particularly when fibrosis is found on CT scans. [1] [2] [13] Patients progress quickly to cor pulmonale and respiratory failure. In the case of silicosis, the survival is generally less than four years. [14] [15] Berylliosis patients mortality rates are between 6 to 35%. [16]
