Abstrakt: Background: After breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, work incapacity often occurs among working-age women. We investigated the trajectories of previous and subsequent sickness absence and/or disability pension (SA/DP) days, and risk factors for consistently high levels of future SA/DP among these women.
Methods: This longitudinal cohort study included all 3536 women in Sweden aged 19-64 years who received a first BC diagnosis in 2010. Their annual SA/DP net days from 2 years before to 3 years after diagnosis were calculated. SA/DP patterns were depicted by a group-based trajectory model. Logistic regressions were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs of >90 or >180 SA/DP days/year.
Results: Three trajectories of SA/DP days/year were identified: increasing only in year +1 (61% of all), increasing then decreasing in year +3 (30%), and constantly very high (9%). The risk factors associated with annual SA/DP days >90 (long) and >180 days (extreme long) were similar. Factors associated with having >90 SA/DP days for years 1-3 were: stage II (OR, 4.59; 95% CI, 2.98-7.07), stage III+IV (OR, 26.57; 95% CI, 13.52-52.22), prediagnosis SA 1-30 days (OR, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.30-5.70), prediagnosis SA >90 days (OR, 24.52; 95% CI, 12.25-49.08), and prediagnosis DP (OR, 659.97; 95% CI, 292.52->999.99). Conversely, adjusting for prediagnosis SA/DP and stage, sociodemographic factors were not associated with high levels of SA/DP.
Conclusion: After BC diagnosis, SA/DP increased significantly but then decreased. The absolute majority had no SA/DP during year 3. Advanced cancer stage and previous high SA/DP rendered the greatest risk for future high SA/DP. More knowledge is needed for applying the information in rehabilitation and return-to-work planning.
