- Published scientific studies on the topics of sick leave, disability pension, and sick-listing practices were searched for, reviewed, and compiled for this report. The approach used reflects in many ways the criteria for systematic literature reviews in health care often associated with the Cochrane Collaboration (1). The area addressed by the literature review - sick leave - requires, however, some specific review criteria (see below).

Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). Chapter 3. Causes of sickness absence: research approaches and explanatory models
- 2004
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian journal of public health. Supplement. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4956 .- 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 3263, s. 36-43

- Research on sickness absence, emanating from different theoretical perspectives and questions, is carried out within several different scientific disciplines. Studies are often based on explanatory models addressing the causes of sickness absence. Here, a brief summary of the various approaches and explanatory models used in sickness-absence research is presented. Also explanatory models for changes over time in sickness absence are briefly discussed.

- Extensive information is available from official statistics and descriptive studies on the association between different socio-demographic background factors and sickness absence. This information addresses age, gender, place of residence, and socio-economic status. However, few studies have thoroughly analysed these background factors, and rigorous scientific evidence on the causal relationship between these factors and sick leave is lacking. Regarding the family, we found no scientific evidence that marital status or children living at home were associated with sickness absence. However, we found limited scientific evidence for an effect of divorce. Regarding work-related factors, we found limited scientific evidence for an effect of physically stressful work, and moderate scientific evidence for low psychological control over the work situation. We found limited scientific evidence for a correlation in time between unemployment and sickness absence, but insufficient scientific evidence for the causes of the association. There was moderate scientific evidence that the amount of sickness absence is influenced by the design of the social insurance system, but insufficient evidence on the magnitude of change required to influence the level of sickness absence. Essentially the same results apply to disability pension, although the number of studies is small. However, we found moderate scientific evidence for the effects of socio-economic status, which could be explained partly by childhood experiences.

Patterns of mortality in Bavi, Vietnam, 1999-2001
- 2003

Ingår i: Scandinavian journal of public health. Supplement. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4956 .- 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 3162, s. 8-11

- Aims: Demographic data including detailed mortality patterns for Vietnam are relatively sparse, mainly coming from national census data. This paper describes detailed mortality findings from a sample drawn from the population of one district of northern Vietnam, over the three-year period 1999-2001. Methods: These data were based on quarterly household visits to collect data on vital events, covering 142,318 person-years of observation over a three-year period. Results: Crude mortality was 5.1 per 1,000 person-years (4.7 for females and 5.6 for males). Infant mortality was 21.6 per 1,000 live births and crude birth rate was 14.7 per 1,000. Life expectancy at birth was 75.2 years (78.8 year for females and 71.1 for males). Residents of mountainous and highland areas experienced lower mortality than riverside and island dwellers. Conclusions: These findings are discussed in the light of two major demographic factors: the legacy of the Vietnam War and, more recently, the effect of Vietnam's two-child policy. Although these mortality estimates seem low, there is good reason to believe that they accurately reflect the current state of this population. Vietnam as a whole enjoys low mortality in relation to its socioeconomic status compared with neighbouring countries.
