abstract: 'Purpose To determine the incidence of employed people who try and fail

  to return-to-work (RTW) following a transport crash. To identify

  predictors of RTW failure. Methods: A historical cohort study was

  conducted in the state of Victoria, Australia. People insured through

  the state-based compulsory third party transport accident compensation

  scheme were included. Inclusion criteria included date of crash between

  2003 and 2012 (inclusive), age 15-70years at the time of crash,

  sustained a non-catastrophic injury and received at least 1 day of

  income replacement. A matrix was created from an administrative payments

  dataset that mapped their RTW pattern for each day up to 3 years''

  post-crash. A gap of 7 days of no payment followed by resumption of a

  payment was considered a RTW failure and was flagged. These event flags

  were then entered into a regression analysis to determine the odds of

  having a failed RTW attempt. Results: 17\% of individuals had a RTW

  fail, with males having 20\% lower odds of experiencing RTW failure.

  Those who were younger, had minor injuries (sprains, strains,

  contusions, abrasions, non-limb fractures), or were from more advantaged

  socio-economic group, were less likely to experience a RTW failure. Most

  likely to experience a RTW failure were individuals with whiplash,

  dislocations or particularly those admitted to hospital. Conclusions:

  Understanding the causes and predictors of failed RTW can help insurers,

  employers and health systems identify at-risk individuals. This can

  enable earlier and more targeted support and more effective employment

  outcomes.'
