Instead it is diagnosed and treated as a common non-work-related disease within the primary health care (PHC) system.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0265"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20,21</span></a> This results in either a delay in diagnosis of WRA, or a complete failure to diagnosis the condition as work-related. This situation causes serious harm: affected workers continue to be exposed to the causative agent and their condition deteriorates, chronicity sets in and they lose their capacity for work. Other workers, too, may suffer from the same exposure while performing similar tasks, since the company fails to implement preventive measures for avoiding new cases. To minimize both delay in diagnosis and long-term decline due to WRA, primary care physicians, when diagnosing asthma in adults, must always consider the possibility that the disease may be work-related.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0275"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a></p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although some estimations of the healthcare costs of work-related asthma have been made,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0255"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> no studies have been conducted in our setting that quantify, based on the number of patients seen, the true burden of this shift of patients and costs toward PHC.

In May 2009, this group of 81 co-investigators (CI) met and received specific training in asthma. A member of the study team was assigned to each doctor for consultation purposes throughout the study. Patients were recruited between July 2009 and February 2010 from a randomized list (supplied by the central computer department) of subjects who met the entry criteria and were assigned to one of the 81 participating CIs. Each CI used the inclusion and exclusion criteria to screen patients, following the list consecutively until the required sample size was achieved. As already mentioned, patients with a diagnosis of asthma in their EMR were included in the study. Each CI reviewed the EMRs of his/her own patients, and confirmed the diagnosis of asthma using clinical criteria (predominantly nocturnal cough, dyspnea during attacks or on effort, wheezing that worsens in certain situations, improvement of symptoms with bronchodilators and/or inhaled corticosteroids) and lung function criteria (spirometry, variability in peak expiratory flow, methacoline test). Doubts were discussed with the assigned study team member. Patients were given an appointment at the health center, and, if they agreed to participate in the study, signed the informed consent form. The patients were then interviewed using a structured questionnaire that contained a comprehensive review of the subject's full employment history. A list of occupations and activities related with OA was provided, along with the main chemical agents and/or products causing OA. In order to avoid bias, this questionnaire was administered by a single, trained member of staff, specifically employed to perform this task in all health centers. The Spanish or Catalan language was used, as appropriate.</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A member of the study team experienced in work-related asthma was responsible for classifying asthma patients into 3 categories: OA, WEA and CA.

The prevalence of OA was determined by calculating the percentage of patients with OA compared to the total number of asthma patients in the sample. The prevalence of WRA was the sum of this percentage and the percentage of patients with WEA. Univariate descriptive statistics were performed on all variables collected: frequency and percentage for qualitative variables, and mean and standard deviation for quantitative variables, since these showed a normal distribution. Normality was confirmed numerically using the Skewness and Kurtosis test (sktest). The prevalence of the different types of asthma (CA, WEA and OA) was compared according to patient characteristics, and proportions were compared using the Chi-squared test for qualitative variables and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for quantitative variables. Finally, a polynomial multivariate logistic regression model was fitted to evaluate the association between the asthma diagnosis and the characteristics of the study patients. All statistical tests were performed with a 2-tailed 95% confidence level, using the Stata/SE Version 12.1 statistical package (StataCorp, Collage Station, TX, USA).</p></span><span id="sec0045" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0105">Limitations</span><p id="par0180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Since the procedure used for selecting patients may have led to dubious or erroneous asthma diagnoses, diagnostic criteria were reviewed for all study subjects who were classified in their medical records as asthmatic.

If the participating physician was still unsure, he/she consulted the study team before including the patient in the study.

Furthermore, 62 (16.8%) patients did not require inhaled medication (12 with OA [17.9% of OA patients], 8 with WEA [14.8% of those with WEA] and 42 with CA [17.0% of those with CA]), although these differences were not statistically significant.</p></span><span id="sec0055" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0115">Discussion</span><p id="par0210" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The results suggest that in 32.9% of asthma patients treated in the PHC system, there is a relationship between their disease and their working environment.

Classification of patients into 3 categories (OA, WEA and CA) by a specialist physician using data collected in a questionnaire is not exempt from problems, but we believe that it is a method fit for the purposes of this study. This methodology may underestimate cases of OA, and may not be helpful in assessing the prevalence of WRA.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0290"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> Nonetheless, additional testing (such as sensitization or specific bronchial hyperreactivity testing), while necessary in individual diagnosis due to the medical and/or legal implications of the disease, does not provide any relevant supplementary information<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0295"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26</span></a> in population studies.</p><p id="par0220" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The low prevalence (2.5%) of asthma observed in our study is because of under-reporting of the disease, both due to the problem of under-reporting itself, and because the study was performed in the early years after switching from paper medical records to the EMR, and transfer of diagnoses was not automatic.</p><p id="par0225" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">While the total number of women with asthma is higher than that of men, a greater percentage of men have OA. This discrepancy cannot be explained simply by differences in exposure to allergens.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0300"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27,28</span></a> Some studies have reported a higher risk of OA in women employed as domestic cleaners.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0310"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">29</span></a> This parameter is not so discernible in our study, probably because cleaners are unofficially employed and so do not have their own social security number, a requisite for inclusion in this study. As asthma in this population cannot be legally classified as OA, many women are diagnosed as having CA when they really have OA.</p><p id="par0230" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Patients with OA are older than those with WEA and CA. In OA, asthma is triggered by working conditions, and a period of sensitization is needed before the disease manifests.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0315"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">30</span></a> In contrast, CA and WEA are triggered by factors encountered before the work-related exposure. Onset of symptoms in patients with WEA occurs at a very young age, suggesting that aggravation of childhood or pre-existing asthma due to work exposure occurs rapidly. A total of 27% of patients whose asthma was diagnosed after the age of 30 years were diagnosed with OA. This would suggest that when asthma is diagnosed in adults, the possibility that the disease may be work-related must be explored.</p><p id="par0235" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">With regard to the patients’ country of origin, it is interesting to note that immigrants are not overrepresented among cases of OA or, especially, WEA, despite them having jobs that might involve a greater risk of exposure to more allergenic substances with fewer protective measures. However, conclusions cannot be drawn, due to the small numbers in our sample. No differences were observed between smoking habit and the different types of asthma.</p><p id="par0240" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Unemployment and incapacity for work in patients with OA are significantly higher than in other groups. It seems very likely that the disease affects sufferers’ possibilities of finding work and being declared with permanent incapacity for work by Employment Institute inspectors. This fact shows how the course of asthma can be particularly incapacitating for OA patients. Moreover, if the patient's disease is not recognized as occupational, their financial situation can be severely affected. Patients with OA and WEA have more episodes of temporary incapacity for work due to asthma (only 4.5% of these were granted by the occupational insurance agencies) than patients with CA. This is another indication of the poor progress of WRA patients caused by continuous exposure to the allergens that trigger or exacerbate their asthma.</p><p id="par0245" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Data on medication use show that, although the proportion of CA and OA patients who do not need asthma medication (estimated from pharmacy use) is similar, the number of containers used by OA subjects is significantly higher. Expenditure on medication use by patients with OA is higher than in those with CA. The number of visits to PHC is also higher in OA, although the difference is not statistically significant. Curiously, the behavior of WEA subjects is similar to that of those with CA.</p><p id="par0250" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In short, OA patients use more healthcare resources than other patients with asthma. In fact, according to legal provisions (Legislative Royal Decree 1/1994, 20 June 1994, approving the Consolidated General Social Security Act), patients with OA should be referred to and treated by the occupational healthcare system, which is not the case.</p></span><span id="sec0060" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0120">Conclusions</span><p id="par0255" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study underscores the high prevalence of WRA treated in PHC centers. The healthcare burden is high, and treatment in the PHC system does not contribute to any improvement in the health of these patients, since the working conditions that trigger or aggravate their disease remain unchanged.</p><p id="par0260" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It must also be emphasized that OA is rarely suspected in the PHC system: the possibility of OA was considered in only 2 of the 368 cases reviewed. These findings are consistent with those from other studies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0320"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">31</span></a> OA should be considered more often as a diagnosis in all adults with symptoms indicative of asthma. Information on current and previous working environments should be included in the patient's medical record.</p><p id="par0265" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our proposal, also suggested in other European studies,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0325"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">32,33</span></a> is to implement protocols encouraging the suspicion and detection of WRA in primary care, as well as better detection and follow-up by occupational insurance agencies. This would increase the diagnostic rate and improve the disease course and prognosis of patients with OA, and appropriate preventive measures could be introduced to help reduce the incidence of new cases. We must all work toward greater communication and collaboration between the public healthcare system and the occupational healthcare system (MATEPSS), in order to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of patients with this disease.</p></span><span id="sec0065" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0125">Ethical Responsibilities</span><p id="par0270" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the Instituto de Investigación en Atención Primaria (IDIAP) Jordi Gol (Barcelona).</p><p id="par0275" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The investigators complied with current Good Clinical Practice guidelines and respected the requirements of the Declaration of Helsinki (1975).
