Key result
Most AMI patients maintain low levels of work disability within two years post-event.
Why the study?
What are the trajectories of work disability before and after acute myocardial infarction compared to individuals without AMI?

What are the trajectories of work disability before and after acute myocardial infarction compared to individuals without AMI?
Most patients experience low levels of work disability within 2 years following an acute myocardial infarction, with prior disability patterns, sex, socioeconomic status, and comorbidities serving as key predictors.
OBJECTIVE: Scientific knowledge on work disability in terms of sickness absence and disability pension (SA/DP) among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is scarce. The study aimed to investigate trajectories of SA/DP among individuals with or without AMI and examined the associations between sociodemographic, morbidity and coronary revascularisation characteristics with such trajectories among patients with AMI. METHODS: test and multinomial logistic regression. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of patients with AMI have a good outcome in terms of low levels of work disability within 2 years after AMI. Patterns of SA/DP before AMI, sex, socioeconomic status as well as comorbid musculoskeletal and mental disorders provide crucial clinical information on work disability after AMI.

Wang et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction. Acute myocardial infarction vs. Individuals without acute myocardial infarction was evaluated on Trajectories of sickness absence and disability pension (SA/DP) (p=<0.01). The majority of patients with acute myocardial infarction have low levels of work disability within 2 years after the event.
