“…Employees were included in the other chronically painful conditions (control) cohort if they had two or more treatment claims with a diagnosis for a pre-specified painful condition at least 30 days apart. 31 Employees not meeting the criteria for either cohort were excluded. For the purposes of developing statistical weights and controlling for confounding characteristics (described below), we created an indicator variable for each of the conditions included in the control cohort.…”

Objectives: Examine short-term disability (STD) and workers’ compensation (WC) associated leave and wage replacements, and overall direct healthcare payments, among employees with osteoarthritis (OA) versus other chronically painful conditions; quantifying the impact of opioid use. Methods: Analysis of employees with more than or equal to two STD or WC claims for OA or pre-specified chronically painful conditions (control) in the IBM MarketScan Research Databases (2014 to 2017). Results: The OA cohort ( n = 144,355) had an estimated +1.2 STD days, +$152 STD payments, and +$1410 healthcare payments relative to the control cohort ( n = 392,639; P < 0.001). WC days/payments were similar. Differences were partially driven by an association between opioid use, increased STD days/payments, and healthcare payments observed in pooled cohorts ( P < 0.001). Conclusions: OA is associated with high STD days/payments and healthcare payments. Opioid use significantly contributes to these and this should be considered when choosing treatment.

“…Identification of patients has been previously described as part of an epidemiologic evaluation of chronic pain, but in brief, patients were identified based on the presence of ≥ 2 ICD‐9‐CM codes at least 30 days apart for the conditions of interest during the study period of January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. Choice of conditions was derived from a study by Davis et al supplemented by conditions additionally identified as being of interest by the investigators, for a total of 24 chronic pain conditions.…”

Objective: To clarify work location's association with musculoskeletal symptoms. Methods: Study 1 surveyed 246 working adults who usually felt pain, in general, and increased pain from computer work. Study 2 surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1084 working adults. Results: In study 1, 32.5% of the participants sought treatment for their increased pain from computer work. Education differed by work location. When education was considered, there were no significant work location differences in pain intensity, pain interference, or self-rated health. In study 2, COVID-19 diagnoses, education, and gender differed by work location. Age and work location explained self-rated health. Self-rated health was associated with musculoskeletal ache. Work location did not significantly predict musculoskeletal ache. Conclusion: Working at home was associated with fewer COVID-19 diagnoses and higher self-rated health than working at employers' locations.
