“…A detailed analysis of factors that influence sick leave were reported among middle-aged patients (40 -49 years) in Japan (11). In this study of medium quality it was found that 77% of the men and 62% of the women had RTW one year after the subarachnoid haemorrhage.…”

“…The mean age in most of the studies was approximately 50 years. In the group of surviving patients with SAH, where no consideration had been taken to functional level on discharge, generally two of three patients returned to work during the first year after onset (the higher the rate the younger the patients) (2,7,11). A 38% RTW after three months was reported (2).…”

“…Four studies have been identified, all prospective cohort studies whereof one was of medium and three were of low quality (2,3,7,11). The patients (total 753) in the studies received either conservative therapy or surgery, or both.…”

“…In a review of quality based on the criteria presented in Chapter 2, nine of these studies (2 -10) were found to be of low quality (Table 8.I) and one study was of medium quality (11), while the quality of the remaining 23 studies was insufficient in relation to the aim of this literature review.…”

The assessment of the literature on sick-leave with cardiovascular diseases include only studies with sufficient scientific quality. These studies describe sick leave following stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We found limited scientific evidence for the following results: After stroke, more than half of the patients of working age returned to work (RTW) during the first year following onset (higher rate for the younger patients). The consequences of brain damage, e.g. impaired ADL ability or cognitive capacity, play an important role in this respect. Also after myocardial infarction most patients RTW. PCI is a milder coronary artery intervention than CABG and RTW is more rapid. However, in the long run there are no differences in sick leave. People at higher ages or with physically demanding jobs return to work to a lesser degree. An international comparison shows that the duration of sick leave due to these conditions in Sweden is longer than in other countries although there is no scientific evidence to support this practice. It appears that the interest in research on sick leave in patients with cardiovascular diseases has waned in recent years. Developments in acute cardiological care should inspire renewed scientific involvement in this area of research.

“…Accordingly, many studies on this matter have revealed a strikingly high incidence of neuropsychological deficits (NPD) in the population of aSAH patients [1,28]. These are, according to a body of literature, determinants of functional independence, return to work, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after aSAH [1,11,29,37,47,48,50,56,57]. These findings have prompted us to reconsider the way aSAH patients are managed in Switzerland today.…”
