Popis: The authors studied relationship between occupational neurosensory deafness and risk factors in locomotive crew workers. Examination covered 173 locomotive crew workers divided into 2 groups: group 1--with occupational neurosensory deafness (n = 85) and group 2--without occupational neurosensory deafness (n = 88). Study covered occupational factors and calculated effective dose connected to length of service for exposure assessment. Complex clinical and laboratory study was performed. For signs structure analysis, principal components method and chances ratio were used. Occupational neurosensory deafness appeared to be reliably connected with length of service, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia--with OR equals 5.7 (95% CI: 2.98-11.00), 1.88 (95% CI: 1.03-3.43) and 2.79 (95% CI: 1.5-5.18) respectively. That necessitates correction of hypertension and dyslipidemia.
