Prevalência e duração dos benefÃcios auxÃlio-doença decorrentes de asma no Brasil em 2008

Abstract: Asthma is a major cause of sick leave, and its etiology has a strong occupational component. This has a major impact on employers, employees, and the social security system. Being female, being > 40 years of age, and working in the areas of urban sanitation/sewage, wood and wood product manufacturing, and furniture manufacturing increase the chance of sick leave due to asthma.

“…In addition to causing absences from work when the disease is exacerbated, asthma also causes long temporary absences. In Brazil in 2008, sickness benefits for asthma were provided to 7.5/100,000 employees for a median duration of 49 days (IQR 25–75 = 28–87 days) [23]. In a transversal study on health related work days lost during 30 months among public service workers in Vitória, a medium seaside city in the same region of Rio de Janeiro (southwest of Brazil), respiratory diseases was the first cause of absenteeism with an average of 8.4 days and median of 5 days lost per period of license [24].…”

“…O NTEP traz a possibilidade de se utilizarem critérios da Epidemiologia Ocupacional na análise das relações entre adoecimento incapacitante e trabalho. Essa ferramenta trouxe mudança no padrão das concessões de benefício, promovendo um novo perfil epidemiológico com diversificação dos agravos à saúde considerados ocupacionais (LUNARDI et al, 2011;ILDEFONSO, 2012). Essa abordagem pode facilitar o exercício da atividade médico-pericial, haja vista que nem todos os servidores possuem formação em Medicina do Trabalho.…”
