Occupational XXXX in Korea.

@entity5 @entity7935 @entity1778
The purpose of this study was to review the existing studies on @entity5 in Korea, estimate the prevalence of workers exposed to carcinogens, and determine the population attributable fraction (PAF) of @entity1778 . Two case series and 4 case reports were reviewed. Using official statistics, the prevalence of @entity7935 exposure and ionizing radiation exposure was estimated. Based on the prevalence of exposure and the relative risk, The PAF of @entity1778 was calculated. Between 1996 and 2005, 51 cases of LHP @entity5 were reported from the compensation system. Greater than 50% of occupational LHP @entity5 was @entity1778 , and the most important cause was @entity7935 . In a cohort study, the standardized incidence ratio was 2.71 (95% CI, 0.56-7.91). The prevalence of exposure was 2.5% and 2.2% in 1995 and 2000, respectively. Using the 1995 prevalence, 3.6-4.8% and 0.1% of cases with @entity1778 were attributable to @entity7935 and ionizing radiation exposure, respectively, which resulted in 39.7-51.4 cases per year. @entity7935 is the most important cause of @entity1778 in Korea. Considering the estimated PAF in this study, the annual number of occupational LHP @entity5 (51 cases during 10-yr period), might be underreported within the compensation system.
