- The number of patients with difficulty in resuming work after long-term sick leave has increased in several European countries including Sweden. The general aim of this study was a comprehensive description - based on multidisciplinary diagnostics and assessments - of patients with the common feature of marked difficulty in resuming working life after a long absence. A particular aim was to elucidate the possible effect of comorbidity on pain descriptors, disability, quality of life, assessed working ability and rehabilitation needs. Six hundred and thirty-five long-term sick leavers were referred from National Insurance Offices and consecutively accepted for investigation. Several self-report questionnaires were used. All patients were examined by three board-certified specialist physicians in psychiatry, orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation medicine, respectively. Fifty-five percent of the patients had psychiatric-somatic comorbidity. The three most frequent combinations of diagnoses in the comorbidity group were fibromyalgia/myalgia and depressive episode, fibromyalgia/myalgia and recurrent depression, spinal pain and depressive episode, whereas the three most frequent in those with psychiatric diagnosis only were depressive episode, recurrent depression, phobias/anxiety. Differences in pain descriptors and in difficulties with activities were found among the three groups. All had lower health-related quality of life than references. Only one-sixth had no assessed working capacity and only 3% were assessed as able to resume work without rehabilitation; 80% were multidisciplinarily assessed as needing rehabilitation. Patients with psychiatric diagnoses, with or without concomitant somatic diagnoses, need medical rehabilitation or medical/vocational rehabilitation in combination to a greater extent than patients with somatic diagnoses only. This implies that medical rehabilitation programmes ought to adapt increasingly to the needs of patients with psychiatric-somatic comorbidity.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This prospective longitudinal study of 80 patients analysed the effect of preoperative pain catastrophizing, anxiety, depression and sense of coherence on the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation, quality of life, grip strength and range of motion during the first year after salvage surgery for wrist osteoarthritis. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyse the effect of the psychological factors on the outcome variables. Pain catastrophizing or a tendency for anxiety preoperatively had a strong negative impact on postoperative Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation. Anxiety also predicted a lower postoperative quality of life, whereas pain catastrophizing had a negative impact on grip strength. Sense of coherence did not influence the outcome. Level of evidence: II
