A prospectively designed study was performed to assess the influence of employment status and a compensation claim on patients experiencing low back pain.
To determine the factor that most influences disability arising from low back pain, unemployment or a compensation claim.
Two hundred sixty-nine consecutive patients were assessed from a low back pain clinic.
Disability was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Score, and employment, and compensation status were recorded.
Both unemployment and patients involved in compensation had higher disability scores. However, by controlling the data for employment and assessing only the compensation group it was found that those claiming compensation, but still working had significantly less disability than those claiming compensation who were unemployed.
Both unemployment and compensation claims influence disability, but employment status is the most important factor.
进行了一项前瞻性设计的研究，以评估就业状况和赔偿要求对腰痛患者的影响。
确定对因腰痛、失业或赔偿要求而导致的残疾影响最大的因素。
从一家腰痛诊所连续评估了269例患者。
使用奥斯维斯特里残疾评分评估残疾情况，并记录就业和赔偿状况。
失业者和涉及赔偿的患者的残疾评分更高。然而，通过控制就业数据并仅评估赔偿组，发现那些索赔但仍在工作的人比那些索赔且失业的人的残疾程度明显更低。
失业和赔偿要求都会影响残疾，但就业状况是最重要的因素。
