To establish the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and other cardiac arrhythmias (CA) in an employed population.
Regression model analysis comparing objective work output, employee turnover, comorbidity prevalence, total health benefit (health care, drug, sick leave, disability, workers' compensation) costs, and absence days for AF versus Non-AF and CA versus Non-CA cohorts, while controlling for differences in patient characteristics.
Cohort sizes were 1403 (AF), 323,333 (Non-AF), 4497 (CA), and 318,917 (Non-CA) employees. Annual AF benefit costs exceeded Non-AF costs by $3958. CA costs exceeded Non-CA costs by $2897. AF and CA cohorts had significantly more sick leave and short-term disability absence days than Non-AF and Non-CA cohorts, respectively. Annual CA work output was significantly lower than Non-CA output.
AF and CA place significant cost, absence, and productivity burdens on employers.
在就业人群中确定心房颤动(AF)和其他心律失常(CA)的负担。
回归模型分析比较了 AF 与非-AF 以及 CA 与非-CA 队列的客观工作产出、员工离职率、合并症患病率、总健康福利(医疗保健、药物、病假、残疾、工人赔偿)成本和缺勤天数,同时控制了患者特征的差异。
队列规模分别为 1403 名(AF)、323333 名(非-AF)、4497 名(CA)和 318917 名(非-CA)员工。AF 的年度福利成本比非-AF 高出 3958 美元。CA 的成本比非-CA 高出 2897 美元。AF 和 CA 队列的病假和短期残疾缺勤天数明显多于非-AF 和非-CA 队列。CA 的年度工作产出明显低于非-CA 产出。
AF 和 CA 给雇主带来了巨大的成本、缺勤和生产力负担。
