Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). Chapter 2. Methods used for the systematic literature search and for the review of relevance, quality, and evidence of studies

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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 8. Sick leave due to coronary artery disease or stroke
- 2004
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian journal of public health. Supplement. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4956 .- 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 3263, s. 181-206

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The assessment of the literature on sick-leave with cardiovascular diseases include only studies with sufficient scientific quality. These studies describe sick leave following stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We found limited scientific evidence for the following results: After stroke, more than half of the patients of working age returned to work (RTW) during the first year following onset (higher rate for the younger patients). The consequences of brain damage, e.g. impaired ADL ability or cognitive capacity, play an important role in this respect. Also after myocardial infarction most patients RTW. PCI is a milder coronary artery intervention than CABG and RTW is more rapid. However, in the long run there are no differences in sick leave. People at higher ages or with physically demanding jobs return to work to a lesser degree. An international comparison shows that the duration of sick leave due to these conditions in Sweden is longer than in other countries although there is no scientific evidence to support this practice. It appears that the interest in research on sick leave in patients with cardiovascular diseases has waned in recent years. Developments in acute cardiological care should inspire renewed scientific involvement in this area of research.

Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). Chapter 10. Sickness presence
- 2004
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian journal of public health. Supplement. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4956 .- 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 3263, s. 216-221
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The term "sickness presence'' is used to describe situations where the ability to work is impaired due to disease, but yet the person goes to work. A problem is that the term "sickness presence'' implies that being present at work is something exceptional if a person is sick. Most people diagnosed with a disease or disorder do, however, go to work and are not sick listed. Furthermore, the term "sickness presence'' is rather diffuse, and it would be beneficial if one or several more specific terms could be used. The current body of scientific literature does not provide sufficient evidence to draw conclusions on the consequences of sickness presence.

Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). Chapter 9. Consequences of being on sick leave
- 2004

Ingår i: Scandinavian journal of public health. Supplement. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4956 .- 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 3263, s. 207-215

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The possible consequences of sick leave can be measured at different levels in society. This chapter focuses on the consequences from the perspective of the sick-listed individual. Sick leave may have both positive and negative consequences for the individual, e.g. regarding disease, health, working life, social life, lifestyle, and emotional aspects. Some of these factors have been investigated in different studies. However, scientific evidence is insufficient since there are too few studies on the consequences of sickness absence and disability pension. The lack of relevant studies is the most striking observation from the review of studies on the consequences of being sick listed.
