OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to quantify the impact of uterine fibroids (UFs) on work productivity among employed women in the US.
METHODS
Adult women working in health care who reported either being diagnosed with or having UF symptoms completed a survey incorporating the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire specific for UFs.
RESULTS
Among 67 respondents (mean age 43.2 years; 43% in executive/professional roles), 84% reported receiving a UF diagnosis from a health care provider; 16% reported symptoms consistent with UF. Forty-nine (73%) respondents reported a mean overall work impairment score of 33% during the past week due to UF driven by presenteeism (28%) relative to absenteeism (6%). Lost productivity costs were estimated at $387/week.
CONCLUSIONS
Women with UF symptoms report substantial lost productivity, driven primarily by impairment while at work, which also has economic implications.
目的
本研究旨在量化子宫肌瘤（UFs）对美国职业女性工作效率的影响。
方法
在医疗保健行业工作的成年女性，若报告被诊断患有子宫肌瘤或有子宫肌瘤症状，则需完成一项包含针对子宫肌瘤的工作效率和活动障碍问卷的调查。
结果
在67名受访者中（平均年龄43.2岁；43%担任行政/专业职位），84%报告从医疗保健提供者处得到子宫肌瘤诊断；16%报告有与子宫肌瘤相符的症状。49名（73%）受访者报告，由于子宫肌瘤，在过去一周平均总体工作障碍得分达33%，其中因出勤主义导致的占28%，旷工导致占6%。生产力损失成本估计为每周387美元。
结论
有子宫肌瘤症状的女性报告生产力大幅损失，主要是由工作时的障碍导致，这也具有经济影响。
