Overall and diagnosis-specific sickness absence and disability pension in colorectal cancer survivors and references in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To longitudinally investigate overall and diagnosis-specific sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP) in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors and references and to identify potential risk factors.

Methods

This longitudinal register-based cohort study included all patients living in Sweden, diagnosed with a first primary CRC in 2008-2011 when aged 18-62 (n=6679), and their matched references (n=26 716). Net days of SA (in SA spells >14 days) and DP were analyzed from 2 years before through 5 years after diagnosis, overall and by specific diagnoses. Among survivors, risk factors for future SADP were explored using logistic regression.

Results

In survivors, SA peaked in year 1 postdiagnosis, with 62.5% having at least some SA, and then gradually decreased t
