“…Our findings are consistent with studies reporting a socially differentiated impact of various chronic conditions including rheumatoid arthritis,7 8 36 37 cancer,14 38 39 coronary heart disease16 40 or self-reported limiting longstanding illness 17 18 41 – 44 on employment: those with the most disadvantaged socioeconomic position suffer more consequences of disease on their employment status than the more privileged. Such inequalities have mostly been related to differences in working conditions (for example, work physical demand, control over the pace and scheduling of work activities).…”

“…Studies have shown evidence for the existence of an impact on employment status of different chronic conditions including rheumatoid arthritis,7 8 diabetes,9 – 11 cancer,12 – 15 impaired cardiac function16 and limiting longstanding illness 17 18. This harmful effect of chronic illness on employment has been shown to be higher among the groups with the lowest position on the labour market—that is, women, the low educated, manual workers and those with the most physically demanding work 19.…”

Prognostic factors for work ability in sicklisted employees with chronic diseases

et al. 2007

Objective: Identifying prognostic factors for work ability in sicklisted employees with myocardial infarction (MI), chronic low back pain (cLBP) and major depressive disorder (MDD) in order to establish an objective basis for work ability evaluation. Design: Systematic literature search in PubMed database (1 January 1990 to 1 July 2006) with the Yale prognostic research filter. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) work-disabled employees; (2) MI, cLBP or MDD patients; (3) longitudinal designs; and (4) return to work or compensation status as outcome measure. Results: Four studies on MI met the inclusion criteria and described the following prognostic factors for work ability in the acute phase of the disease and disablement: lower age; male gender; no financial basis on which to retire; lower physical job demands; fewer somatic complaints; no anxiety attacks; no diabetes; no heart failure; no atrial fibrillation; no Q waves; and a short time interval between MI and presentation at the occupational medicine clinic. Two studies on cLBP met the inclusion criteria and described the following prognostic factors for work ability after 3 months' work disablement: lower age; male gender; no treatment before sick listing; surgery in the first year of sick listing; being a breadwinner; less pain; better general health; higher job satisfaction; lower physical and/or psychological demands at work; and a higher decision latitude at work. No relevant MDD studies were found. Conclusion: In the earlier phases of work disablement in MI and cLBP patients, only a few studies describe disease-specific, environmental and personal prognostic factors for return to work. No studies describe prognostic factors for MDD. More evidence is needed on the topic of prognostic factors for return to work in employees with chronic diseases.

Additionally, data on employment trajectory since HIV diagnosis collected retrospectively in the ANRS-EN12-VESPA study indicate that 28% of the 647 patients HIV- [38] and various chronic conditions including rheumatoid arthritis [7,8], impaired cardiac function [12] and limiting longstanding illness [13,14,41,42] on employment status.…”

Socioeconomic Differences in the Impact of HIV Infection on Workforce Participation in France in the Era of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

et al. 2007

Objectives. We sought to measure the difference in employment rates between HIV-seropositive and HIV-seronegative persons and to establish whether this difference varied according to the HIV-infected persons’ socioeconomic position as defined by education level. Methods. We used data from the VESPA (VIH: Enquête Sur les Personnes Atteintes) study, a large cross-sectional survey conducted among a nationally representative sample of 2932 HIV-infected patients in France. Age-, gender-, nationality-, and education-standardized employment rates were estimated with the French general population as the reference. The differences in employment rates with the general population were computed overall and according to education level. Results. Compared with that of the general population, the overall employment rate was 25% lower (95% confidence interval [CI]=16%, 32%) among HIV-infected patients diagnosed before 1994 and 9% lower (95% CI = 5%, 16%) among HIV-infected patients diagnosed from 1994 onward. The difference in employment rates with the general population was significantly higher among patients with a low education level. The employment rate of highly educated HIV-infected patients diagnosed from 1994 onward did not differ from that of the general population. Conclusions. HIV infection was associated with decreased workforce participation among those with a low education level but not among highly educated individuals.
