The median age at diagnosis was 69 years (range 46-88). Patient occupations related to asbestos exposure included: asbestos product manufacturing (n = 17); the shipbuilding industry (n = 14); the construction industry (n = 13); heat insulation work (n = 12); plumbing, asbestos spraying, and electrical work (n = 7 each), and transportation and demolition work (n = 4 each). The median duration of asbestos exposure was 25 years (range 2-54), and the median latency period before the onset of DPT was 46 years (range 25-66). Involvement of the costophrenic angle (CPA) was also negatively correlated with the percent vital capacity (%VC; r = -0.448, p &lt; 0.01). Pleural thickness and the craniocaudal and horizontal extension of pleural thickening, as determined by chest computed tomography (CT), were also negatively correlated with %VC (r = -0.226, p &lt; 0.05; r = -0.409, p &lt; 0.01, and r = -0.408, p &lt; 0.01, respectively). &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; DPT develops after a long latency period following occupational asbestos exposure and causes marked respiratory dysfunction. The extension of DPT should be evaluated by chest CT, and chest X-ray would be important for the evaluation of the involvement of the CPA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000364948","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,27]],"date-time":"2014-08-27T09:15:21Z","timestamp":1409130921000},"page":"277-284","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Asbestos-Related Diffuse Pleural Thickening"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"88","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4516-0433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nobukazu","family":"Fujimoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katsuya","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ikuji","family":"Usami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fumikazu","family":"Sakai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takeshi","family":"Tokuyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seiji","family":"Hayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Miyamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takumi","family":"Kishimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200310-1436ST"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1982.03320300021016"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.36.9.669"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.153.1.8542134"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.144.1.9"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.45.7.443"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.46.7.461"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqs028"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.152.3.7663792"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2282011860"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/acprof:oso\/9780195178692.003.0012"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.48.11.762"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.20868"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1349-7006.2010.01509.x"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1349-7006.2011.02165.x"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.154.3.8810620"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2008-1048733"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00420-004-0520-7"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.20713"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0009-9260(70)80068-X"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.98.11051021"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.43.10.777"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/141.2.321"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.103.4.1045"},{"key":"ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/142.4.837"},{"key":"ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.46.1.33"},{"key":"ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.108.3.647"},{"key":"ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.51.9.947"}],"container-title":["Respiration"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/364948","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/364948","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:53:24Z","timestamp":1745430804000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000364948"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014]]},"references-count":28,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000364948","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0025-7931","1423-0356"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0025-7931"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0356"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014]]}}}
