Summary
Migraine affects 22.5% of hospital workers in Colombia, significantly impacting productivity and daily life. Targeted health policies are crucial for managing this prevalent neurological condition and improving quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Neuroepidemiology
- Occupational Health
Context:
- A study investigated migraine prevalence and its impact on healthcare workers in a Colombian regional hospital.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) neuroepidemiological protocol and the MIDAS (Migraine Disability Assessment) survey were utilized.
Purpose:
- To determine the prevalence of migraine among hospital staff.
- To assess the implications of migraine on occupational and daily activities.
- To inform health policy for managing migraine in healthcare settings.
Summary:
- Migraine prevalence was 22.5% in 238 hospital workers (188 female, 50 male), with a higher incidence in females.
- Nearly half (47.2%) reported a 50% reduction in productivity due to migraine.
- Significant time was lost from work, outside employment/daily activities, and family/leisure due to migraine.
Impact:
- Migraine poses a substantial individual, occupational, social, and economic burden on Colombian hospital workers.
- Underestimation of migraine prevalence may occur with standard WHO protocols.
- There is a need for health policies and programs to address migraine evaluation, control, and treatment in this population to enhance quality of life.

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
