  • External factors like work and social conditions had less influence on time off work than anticipated.
  • Medical advice, patient-reported flashbacks, and impairment symptoms were significant determinants of work absence duration.

Conclusions:

  • Prognostic indicators for return to work in occupational hand injuries are primarily related to clinical and patient-reported factors rather than external socio-economic conditions.
  • Targeted interventions focusing on medical advice and symptom management may optimize return-to-work timelines.
