To estimate the incremental absenteeism-related wage loss associated with multimorbidity and examine the influence of paid sick leave policy (PSLP) on multimorbidity-associated absenteeism wage loss.
We used the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) 2015 data. Two-part generalized linear models (GLM) were employed, using binomial distribution and gamma distribution with a log link.
Nationally, multimorbidity was associated with a $9 billion incremental absenteeism-related wage loss annually among working adults. Absenteeism-related wage loss was higher among those with multimorbidity than those without multimorbidity. The incremental annual absenteeism-related wage loss associated with multimorbidity was lower in settings that offered paid sick leave than that did not offer paid sick leaves.
Multimorbidity is associated with higher absenteeism-related wage loss. Paid sick leave policies can reduce the impact of multimorbidity on absenteeism-related wage loss.
估计与多种疾病相关的旷工相关工资损失的增量,并探讨带薪病假政策(PSLP)对多种疾病相关旷工工资损失的影响。
我们使用了医疗支出面板调查(MEPS)2015 年的数据。采用二项广义线性模型(GLM),使用二项分布和伽马分布与对数链接。
在全国范围内,工作成年人的多种疾病与每年 90 亿美元的旷工相关工资损失增量有关。与没有多种疾病的人相比,患有多种疾病的人旷工相关的工资损失更高。在提供带薪病假的情况下,与多种疾病相关的旷工相关工资损失的年度增量低于不提供带薪病假的情况。
多种疾病与更高的旷工相关工资损失有关。带薪病假政策可以减轻多种疾病对旷工相关工资损失的影响。
