Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Recurrent pain, whether single or multisite, significantly increases the risk of sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP). A single pain episode does not elevate these risks, highlighting the importance of addressing chronic pain patterns.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Pain Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Chronic pain conditions are a growing concern in the workforce.
  • Understanding the link between pain patterns and work-related outcomes is crucial for employee well-being and productivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between recurrent single- and multisite pain and the incidence of sickness absence (SA) of varying durations.
  • To examine the relationship between recurrent pain and the risk of disability pension (DP).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Finnish Helsinki Health Study, including 3191 employees.
  • Employed negative binomial regression for SA incidence and Cox/competing risk models for DP.
  • Adjusted for social and health-related covariates.

Main Results:

  • Recurrent pain was significantly associated with short-, medium-, and long-term SA.
  • Recurrent single- and multisite pain elevated the risk of long-term SA and disability pension (DP).
  • A single instance of pain did not increase the risk of SA or DP.

Conclusions:

  • Recurrent pain is a strong predictor of subsequent sickness absence and disability pension.
  • Further research into the determinants of recurrent pain is necessary to develop targeted interventions for reducing work disability and premature employment exit.
