To study asthma-related absenteeism in the asthmatic population in Spain and to identify some risk factors for absenteeism.
A cross-sectional study was performed on patients who had been diagnosed with asthma in the primary care setting at least 1 year before the start of this study. A questionnaire was designed that included socio-demographic and clinical variables. The time absent from work in the previous year was self-reported by the patients.
More than 25% of the asthmatic population in Spain took sick leave during the previous year. Visits to a general practitioner or to the emergency department are the factors associated with the greatest risk of absenteeism.
Absenteeism is common within the asthmatic population in Spain. The authors of this study believe that some of the determining factors could be modified by the health-care system.
研究西班牙哮喘患者群体中与哮喘相关的缺勤情况，并确定一些缺勤的风险因素。
对在本研究开始前至少1年在初级保健机构被诊断为哮喘的患者进行了一项横断面研究。设计了一份问卷，其中包括社会人口统计学和临床变量。患者自行报告上一年的缺勤时间。
西班牙超过25%的哮喘患者群体在上一年请了病假。看全科医生或去急诊科就诊是与缺勤风险最高相关的因素。
在西班牙哮喘患者群体中，缺勤情况很常见。本研究的作者认为，一些决定性因素可以通过医疗保健系统加以改变。
