|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation among primary care patients with headache.
|
|
|
|
|

|
DESIGN: A 2-year cohort study comparing employment status of primary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care patients with headache and that of patients with back pain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PARTICIPANTS: Patients with headache (n = 662) or back gain (n = 1,024)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sampled from persons visiting a primary care physician who completed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
baseline, 1-year and 2-year follow-up interviews.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The percentage of subjects unemployed at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
baseline, I year or 2 years was determined, excluding the retired and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
homemakers. Among all patients, the percentage unable to obtain or keep
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
full-time work in the year prior to each interview because of headache
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or back pain was also assessed. Over the 3-year period covered by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study interviews, 13\% of headache and 18\% of back pain patients were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unable to obtain or keep full-time work because of their pain condition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Among those in the labor farce, 12\% of headache patients and 12\% of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
back pain patients were unemployed for any reason at one or more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interviews. Among the one in five headache patients with a poor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
long-term outcome, 36\% were unable to obtain or keep full-time work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
because of;headache at same time compared with 4\% of headache patients
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with a good outcome. Among headache patients, women, persons aged 18 to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
24 years, those with lower levels of education, persons with depressive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
symptoms, and migraineurs were more likely to have reduced labor force
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation owing to headache,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONCLUSIONS: The likelihood of reduced labor force participation among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
primary care patients with headache was considerable and concentrated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among the one in five patients with a poor long-term outcome. Headache
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
patients at a social disadvantage in attaining occupational role
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stability (e.g., younger women or poorly educated patients) were more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likely to report reduced labor force participation.'
