Pneumoconiosis is the most harmful and common occupational disease in China. The development of a pneumoconiosis rehabilitation expert consensus can improve utilization of the unique advantages of Chinese and Western medicine rehabilitation strategies, and provide effective and feasible guidance for the clinical rehabilitation of pneumoconiosis. We conducted clinical problem investigation, evidence collection and evaluation, Delphi consultation, and other technical links following the WHO guidelines to formulate manual procedures. Relevant rehabilitation guidelines, systematic reviews, clinical researches, and other current best evidence and expert opinions were extensively solicited to formulate the consensus. The reporting of consensus followed the RIGHT statement. The 14 types of rehabilitation strategies recommended by this consensus can be used by clinical rehabilitation physicians, rehabilitation therapists, respiratory therapists, nursing staff, community rehabilitation, health education, and other professionals for the rehabilitation of pneumoconiosis patients.
