Pregnant women in Denmark are allowed sick leave when exposed to occupational risk factors or when the pregnancy is abnormal. The aim of the study was to describe pregnancy-related risk assessment and possible variations among medical doctors. During 1994 13 specialists in occupational medicine and a sample of 30 general practitioners answered questionnaires on pregnancy-related risk assessment. Risk assessment varied and included factors, that did not in themselves allow sick leave. General practitioners focused on the pregnancy and occupational specialists on the work environment, and there were similar variations in risk assessment and counselling among the two groups. Approximately 40% of the doctors had constrained prescribed sick leave. As the project points out differences in risk assessment it seems reasonable to evaluate these so as to obtain consensus.
丹麦的孕妇在面临职业风险因素或怀孕异常时可请病假。本研究的目的是描述与怀孕相关的风险评估以及医生之间可能存在的差异。1994年，13名职业医学专家和30名全科医生样本回答了关于与怀孕相关风险评估的问卷。风险评估各不相同，包括一些本身并不允许请病假的因素。全科医生关注怀孕情况，职业专家关注工作环境，两组在风险评估和咨询方面也存在类似差异。约40%的医生限制了病假的开具。由于该项目指出了风险评估中的差异，对这些差异进行评估以达成共识似乎是合理的。
