Premorbid risk factors influencing labour market attachment after mild traumatic brain injury: a national register study with long-term follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Some patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) experience persistent postconcussive symptoms, influencing the ability to work. This study assessed associations between mTBI and labour market attachment (up to 5 years postinjury) in patients with different premorbid characteristics.

Design and setting

Participants

We included hospital admitted patients between 18 and 60 years diagnosed with mTBI (International Classification of Diseases, version 10 diagnosis S06.0) (n=19 732). For each patient, one control was selected matched on age, gender and municipality (n=18 640).

Primary outcome measure

Primary outcome was 'not attending ordinary work', and premorbid risk factors were cohabitat
