| الوصف: | To quantify the burden of work-relevant persistent musculoskeletal (MSK) pain to a large UK employer.A retrospective, longitudinal, analytical cohort study using linked Rolls-Royce data systems. Cases were employees with a MSK-related referral to occupational health; controls were age-, sex-, and job role-matched employees without such a referral. Outcomes were compared during 12 months' follow-up.Overall, 2382 matched case-control pairs were identified (mean age: 46 y; 82% male). Cases took 39,200 MSK-related sickness absence days in total (equating to £50 million in sickness absence costs). Cases took significantly more all-cause sickness absence days than controls (82,341 [£106 million] versus 19,628 [£26 million]; P 0.0001).Despite access to extensive occupational health services, the burden of work-relevant persistent MSK pain remains high in Rolls-Royce. There is a clear need to better understand how to effectively reduce this burden. |
