Diving decompression illness (DCI) cases in Denmark increased tenfold, with a quarter of treated divers experiencing long-term symptoms. This highlights the persistent, life-long consequences of DCI for divers.

Area of Science:

  • Diving Medicine
  • Hyperbaric Medicine
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Decompression illness (DCI) incidence and diver characteristics in Denmark lacked recent assessment.
  • Long-term residual symptoms post-hyperbaric oxygen therapy for DCI were previously unquantified in Denmark.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the incidence and characteristics of DCI cases in Denmark from 1999-2013.
  • To investigate long-term residual symptoms in divers treated for DCI.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records and questionnaires for 205 DCI cases.
  • Analysis of diver demographics, diving details, and treatment types.
  • Phone interviews to assess long-term residual symptoms in a subgroup of treated divers.

Main Results:

  • Identified 205 DCI cases with an average of 14 cases annually, showing no significant trend.
  • Most frequent symptoms included paresthesia (50%), pain (42%), and vertigo (40%).
  • A quarter of divers treated in 2009/2010 reported long-term residual symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • DCI cases in Denmark have increased more than tenfold since 1966-1980.
  • Long-term residual symptoms are prevalent, underscoring the potential for life-long consequences of DCI.
