Reliability of reported occupational history information for US coal miners, 1969-1977.

In most epidemiologic surveys, the information gathered from questionnaires is used without knowing the validity or reprod...

متن کاملLung cancer in coal-miners.
In a study of coal-miners suffering from lung cancer two features of special interest are recorded. The difficulties in diagnosis are illustrated by case reports. The two-year survival rate after surgical removal of the tumour is significantly better in coal-miners than in non-miners. After operation 87% of coal-miners were alive two years later, compared with only 36% of other patients operate...
