Popis: The authors consider results of retrospective analysis of primary consultations of 2791 coal miners with occupational lumbosacral radiculopathy over 1976-2014 in Rostov regional occupational center. Findings are that 975 miners (34.9%) underwent examination of the disease connection with occupation, and occupational lumbosacral radiculopathy was diagnosed on primary consultation, but in 1816 miners (65.1%) recurrent lowerback pain and health-injury by occupational hazards were diagnosed. Recurrent lower back pain in miners was considered as a predictor of occupational lumbosacral radiculopathy. The authors suggested a way of prevention for occupational lumbosacral radiculopathy and comorbid conditions in miners during periodic medical examinations in occupational pathology center.
