What is the duration of sick leave and associated factors in patients with ischemic heart disease?
What is the duration of sick leave and associated factors in patients with ischemic heart disease?
Ischemic heart disease is associated with prolonged sick leave (averaging nearly six months) and a doubling in the consumption of psychotropic medications.
Prolonged sick leave and doubled psychotropic use after ischemic heart disease signal substantial recovery burden; leaves open causal links and targeted interventions in observational data.
The mean duration of sick leave due to ischemic heart disease was almost six months. Consumption of psychotropic medication doubled after the event. Older age, suffering an acute myocardial infarction and taking antidepressants were associated with a longer sick leave period.
