title: [Questionnaire survey on the effectiveness of health resort treatment of patients with occupational respiratory tract diseases].
abstract: The survey was carried out in 806 patients affected with different pneumoconioses or chronic respiratory system diseases treated at the Scientific Research Centre of Occupational Respiratory System Diseases at Szczawno-Zdrój. Tabular specification of individual questionnaires results showed the usefulness of such studies for evaluation of balneotherapy effect and length of period of improvement. Better results of treatment were found in less advanced forms of pneumoconioses and other chronic respiratory system diseases. Repeated treatment has lengthened the period of improvement. In elder patients, an evident subjective improvement is to be noticed which seems to be also an indication for spa treatment.
