To examine factors relating to return to work (RTW) following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
One hundred and nine patients (Age: M = 37.4 years, SD = 13.2; 52.3% women) who sustained an mTBI.
Inception cohort design with questionnaires and neuropsychological testing completed approximately 3 to 4 weeks postinjury.
Emergency Department of Tampere University Hospital, Finland.
Self-report (postconcussion symptoms, depression, fatigue, and general health) and neurocognitive measures (attention and memory).
The cumulative RTW rates were as follows: 1 week = 46.8%, 2 weeks = 59.6%, 3 weeks = 67.0%, 4 weeks = 70.6%, 2 months = 91.7%, and 1 year = 97.2%. Four variables were significant predictors of the number of days to RTW: age, multiple bodily injuries, intracranial abnormality at the day of injury, and fatigue ratings (all P < .001). The largest amount of variance accounted for by these variables in the prediction of RTW was at 30 days following injury (P < .001, R = 0.504). Participants who returned to work fewer than 30 days after injury (n = 82, 75.2%) versus more than 30 days (n = 27, 24.8%) did not differ on demographic or neuropsychological variables.
The vast majority of this cohort returned to work within 2 months. Predictors of slower RTW included age, multiple bodily injuries, intracranial abnormality at the day of injury, and fatigue.
研究与轻度创伤性脑损伤（mTBI）后重返工作岗位（RTW）相关的因素。
109例mTBI患者（年龄：M = 37.4岁，标准差 = 13.2；52.3%为女性）。
起始队列设计，伤后约3至4周完成问卷调查和神经心理学测试。
芬兰坦佩雷大学医院急诊科。
自我报告（脑震荡后症状、抑郁、疲劳和总体健康状况）以及神经认知指标（注意力和记忆力）。
累积重返工作岗位率如下：1周 = 46.8%，2周 = 59.6%，3周 = 67.0%，4周 = 70.6%，2个月 = 91.7%，1年 = 97.2%。四个变量是重返工作岗位天数的显著预测因素：年龄、多处身体损伤、受伤当天的颅内异常以及疲劳评分（均P < .001）。这些变量在预测重返工作岗位时所解释的最大方差量出现在受伤后30天（P < .001，R = 0.504）。伤后少于30天重返工作岗位的参与者（n = 82，75.2%）与多于30天重返工作岗位的参与者（n = 27，24.8%）在人口统计学或神经心理学变量上无差异。
该队列中的绝大多数人在2个月内重返工作岗位。重返工作岗位较慢的预测因素包括年龄、多处身体损伤、受伤当天的颅内异常以及疲劳。
