Radiculopathy in the structure of occupational morbidity in agricultural tractor drivers
Introduction. The frequency of professional lumbosacral radiculopathy (PLR) in employees of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of the Saratov region for the period 2008-2018 was studied. The dynamics and features of PCR detection are analyzed, and possible social trends affecting the detection of the disease are considered. Against the background of a general decrease in the number of cases of occupational diseases in the agricultural sector of the Saratov region over the past 11 years, there has been a trend towards a decrease in cases of professional PCR, which implies, on the one hand, an improvement in treatment and rehabilitation activities carried out in this direction, on the other hand, reflects the socio-economic realities of recent years.
