Area of Science:

  • Occupational Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Work-related exposures cause significant asthma cases and exacerbations, termed work-related asthma (WRA).
  • A validated, standardized WRA questionnaire is crucial for workplace surveillance and epidemiological research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing evidence on WRA questionnaires and algorithms.
  • To propose a standardized instrument for detecting suspected work-related asthma.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases up to March 2021.
  • Identification of high-quality studies focusing on asthma, occupational diseases, questionnaires, and algorithms.
  • Data extraction on instrument development, validation, and performance to inform a new WRA tool.

Main Results:

  • Six studies were included in the review.
  • A novel WRA questionnaire comprising 14 questions on asthma and work-related symptoms was developed.
  • An algorithm was created to calculate a Work-Related Asthma Total Score (WRATS), with a score ≥1 indicating potential WRA requiring further evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • This study presents the first WRA questionnaire derived from validated instruments.
  • Further validation and performance evaluation in diverse settings are necessary for refinement and broader application.
