Abstract

In 195 cases of musculoskeletal occupational injury individual and work related factors and their relationship with reduction of physical work load and active employment was studied. Data concerning the injuries were obtained and after 18 months the work places were assessed. Information on employment status was obtained by a postal questionnaire after 3 years. Multiple logistic regression was used to explain the two outcome measures. Injuries classified as diseases and informative injury reports were factors positively associated with reduction of work load. Male gender, higher education, and a sick-leave shorter than 6 months were factors positively associated with employment.
