美国工人对哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺病的医疗支出相当可观

据美国疾病控制和预防中心7月3日发表的一项研究，美国工人每年用于哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)的医疗支出总额分别为70亿美元和50亿美元发病率和死亡率周报。

Girija Syamlal，M.B.B.S.来自亚特兰大的CDC，同事们审查了2011年至2015年医疗支出面板调查数据，以确定患者患者患者患者患者≥18岁的哮喘和COPD治疗。

Among the estimated 166 million U.S. workers, 8 and 7 million had at least one asthma-related and at least one COPD-related medical event, respectively, during 2011 to 2015. The researchers found that the annualized total medical expenditures were $7 billion and $5 billion for asthma and COPD, respectively, in 2017. Private health insurance paid for 61 and 59 percent of expenditures attributable to treatment of asthma and COPD, respectively. Inpatient visits had the highest annualized per-person asthma- and COPD-related expenditures ($8,238 and $27,597, respectively). By industry group, workers in公共管理拥有最高的每人支出（哮喘的1,279美元，COPD为1,819美元）。

“通过支持工作场所的项目和政策(如无烟工作场所政策、戒烟项目、工作场所暴露控制措施)可以减少疾病的影响，改善工人的健康，”作者写道。
