Area of Science:

  • Occupational Medicine
  • Primary Care Medicine

Background:

  • Sickness certification is a frequent clinical task.
  • Practices surrounding sickness certification are not well-understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively describe sickness certification prescription patterns among primary care physicians.
  • To identify factors influencing sick-leave duration.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective recording of patients receiving sickness certificates over six weeks.
  • Analysis of sick-leave duration based on patient demographics, diagnoses, comorbidities, and environmental factors.

Main Results:

  • 602 out of 6,433 consultations resulted in sickness certification.
  • 56% of certified patients had sick leave exceeding six days.
  • Older age, comorbidities, and specific diagnoses (musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, psychiatric, injury) were linked to longer sick leave.

Conclusions:

  • Sickness certification is complex, influenced by diagnosis, comorbidities, and psychosocial factors.
  • Physicians need awareness of factors predicting extended sick leave to manage patient recovery effectively.
