While self-reports of sick absenteeism days are often practical for research, it is not clear how accurate these reports are. 192 Swedish participants recorded the number of days they had been off work for all illnesses, as well as for back pain specifically, for each month during the past 6 mo. These data were then compared to records from the National Insurance Authority in Sweden. The similarity between the data sets was very high, with the correspondence for those reporting 0 to 30 days off being 98%. For those with more than 30 days of self-reported sick leave, the correspondence was 81%, but the reason for the discrepancy may have been a lack of clarity in the question. It is concluded that self-reports correspond well with recorded data and that their use in research is justified.
虽然自我报告的病假缺勤天数在研究中通常很实用，但这些报告的准确性尚不清楚。192 名瑞典参与者记录了他们过去 6 个月中每个月因所有疾病（以及专门因背痛）缺勤的天数。然后，这些数据与瑞典国家保险局的记录进行了比较。数据集之间的相似度非常高，报告 0 至 30 天缺勤的对应率为 98%。对于那些报告自我报告病假超过 30 天的人，对应率为 81%，但差异的原因可能是问题不够明确。研究得出结论，自我报告与记录数据吻合较好，因此其在研究中的使用是合理的。
