We collected and analyzed the data of pneumoconiosis cases reported annually from 2006 to 2017. The information of the cases mainly includes case distributions, clinical types and stages, enterprise types and scales, as well as diagnosis age and exposure duration. A total of 9243 pneumoconiosis cases were reported between 2006 and 2017, among which silicosis and coal workers\u2019 pneumoconiosis accounted for the vast majority (87.5%). The incidence of pneumoconiosis was relatively higher in Wuxi, Yancheng, Suzhou and Xuzhou, compared to the other district. Most pneumoconiosis cases occurred in the state-owned (58.4%) and collective enterprises (23.8%). Most cases worked in industries related to geology and coal production. The median exposure duration and diagnosis age of the total pneumoconiosis cases was 13.2 and 61.0 years, respectively. Therefore, more measurements are needed to control pneumoconiosis in the Jiangsu Province.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph16030437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,5]],"date-time":"2019-02-05T11:31:07Z","timestamp":1549366267000},"page":"437","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Characteristics and Trends of Pneumoconiosis in the Jiangsu Province, China, 2006\u20132017"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Lei","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention, Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Nanjing 210028, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenxi","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Health, School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing 211166, China"},{"name":"Wuxi School of Medicine, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2628-7535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zilong","family":"Bian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Health, School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing 211166, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention, Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Nanjing 210028, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hengdong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention, Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Nanjing 210028, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bangmei","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention, Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Nanjing 210028, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Han","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention, Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Nanjing 210028, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Health, School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing 211166, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Baoli","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Health, School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing 211166, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunhui","family":"Ni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Health, School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing 211166, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Fourth International Pneumoconiosis Conference (1971).
