The objectives of this cross-sectional, observational study were to determine the prevalence of self-reported headache among the employees of the large Swiss university hospital, to measure the impact of headache using the MIDAS questionnaire, to assess current treatment and to estimate economic burden of headache considering indirect costs.
A self-administered questionnaire was distributed internally to 2000 randomly selected employees of the University Hospital Zurich.
1210 employees (60.5%) responded. Of the 1192 (98.5%) employees who provided sufficiently complete information, 723 (61%) reported at least one headache type in the last three months. The prevalence of migraine, and tension-type headache was 20% and 50%, respectively. Regarding the occupational groups, there was a trend that healthcare staff, administration employees, and medical technicians suffered more from headaches than physicians, correcting for age and sex. The economic consequences of lost productivity were calculated to amount to approximately 14 million Swiss Francs (9.5 million EUR), representing 3.2% of the overall annual expenditure of the hospital for personnel.
Headache is highly prevalent among university hospital employees, with significant economic impact.
本横断面观察性研究旨在确定瑞士大型大学医院员工中自述头痛的患病率，使用 MIDAS 问卷衡量头痛的影响，评估当前的治疗方法，并考虑间接成本来估计头痛的经济负担。
向苏黎世大学医院的 2000 名随机员工内部发放了一份自我管理问卷。
1210 名员工（60.5%）做出了回应。在提供了足够完整信息的 1192 名（98.5%）员工中，有 723 名（61%）报告在过去三个月内有至少一种头痛类型。偏头痛和紧张型头痛的患病率分别为 20%和 50%。关于职业群体，医护人员、行政人员和医疗技术人员比医生更易患头痛，这一趋势在年龄和性别校正后更为明显。生产力损失的经济后果估计约为 1400 万瑞士法郎（950 万欧元），占医院人员总年度支出的 3.2%。
头痛在大学医院员工中患病率很高，具有显著的经济影响。
