• Description:
  We validated the Canadian non-SIC model specific for HMW-induced OA with a high accuracy in European data. The model could facilitate the quantification of individuals' probability of OA by specialists who have access to specific sensitization and nonspecific bronchial challenge tests. It may help clinicians determine which subjects should be referred to tertiary centers for more specialized investigations. Nevertheless, separate models should be developed for subjects exposed to low-molecular-weight agents and subjects who were no longer exposed to the offending workplace exposure, which represent a large portion of those referred for diagnostic investigation.
