Factors associated with temporary work disability in patients with fibromyalgia

Introduction: Lumbar pain syndrome is the most common cause of temporary work disability in people under 45 years of age. The aim of this study was to detect the frequency of acute and chronic lumbar painsyndrome in people of both gender, different age structures, different occupations and in active working population, and to determine the efficiency of trunk stabilizing exercises in its treatment.Methods: We analyzed 27 patients with acute and 33 patients with chronic lumbar pain syndrome from 01.01.2010 to 31.12.2012 which undergone trunk stabilizing exercises. We evaluated and scored 0 to 5the condition of respondents before treatment and after the treatment.Research results: The mean score of condition of respondents with acute lumbar pain syndrome before therapy is 2.96, whereas after treatment is 4.71. The mean score of condition of respondents with chroniclumbar pain syndrome before therapy is 3.76, whereas after treatment is 4.63.Conclusion: Treatment with trunk stabilizing exercises performed in the clinic "Praxis” leads to improved scores of condition of respondents after treatment.

ObjectivesThe number of workers with cancer has dramatically increasing worldwide. One of the main priorities is to preserve their quality of life and the sustainability of social security systems. We have carried out this study to assess factors associated with the ability to work after cancer. Such insight should help with the planning of rehabilitation needs and tailored programmes.ParticipantsWe conducted this register-based cohort study using individual data from the Belgian Disability Insurance. Data on 15 543 socially insured Belgian people who entered into the long-term work disability between 2007 and 2011 due to cancer were used.Primary and secondary outcome measuresWe estimated the duration of work disability using Kaplan-Meier and the cause-specific cumulative incidence of ability to work stratified by age, gender, occupational class and year of entering the work disability system for 11 cancer sites using the Fine and Gray model allowing for competing risks.ResultsThe overall median time of work disability was 1.59 years (95% CI 1.52 to 1.66), ranging from 0.75 to 4.98 years. By the end of follow-up, more than one-third of the disabled cancer survivors were able to work (35%). While a large proportion of the women were able to work at the end of follow-up, the men who were able to work could do so sooner. Being women, white collar, young and having haematological, male genital or breast cancers were factors with the bestlikelihood to be able to return to work.ConclusionGood prognostic factors for the ability to work were youth, woman, white collar and having breast, male genital or haematological cancers. Reviewing our results together with the cancer incidence predictions up to 2025 offers a high value for social security and rehabilitation planning and for ascertaining patients’ perspectives.

Meta Analyses

Purpose Worldwide, spinal cord injuries are associated with diminished participation in the labor market. Inconclusive reporting and differences between workplace settings for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) make conceptualizing return to work rates among this population inherently challenging. The objectives of this study are to explore factors associated with return to work (RTW) following an SCI. Moreover, the factors were classified according to the work disability prevention framework. Finally, we conducted a meta-analysis of the prevalence of RTW following an SCI. Methods Original articles were identified through a literature search in four health databases. The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for the mapping and identification of records. Included studies contained primary studies that included the nature of the injury, antecedent factors associated with the injury, and study characteristics and RTW outcomes. Exclusion criteria for the studies included if there was no discussion of RTW outcomes, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Results A total of 461 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and eight studies were included and assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist, Risk of Bias, and Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Four studies identified personal system factors, four identified healthcare system factors, two identified compensation system factors, and one identified workplace system factors. Conclusions Attempts to optimize RTW among persons with SCI are inherently difficult due to the diversity of this client population. Findings from the studies included in this systematic review support the utility of interventions for facilitating RTW, such as vocational rehabilitation and workplace accommodations, while simultaneously acknowledging the limitations in identifying specific interventions as facilitatory or inhibitory throughout the process.
