Background: Employment and personal income loss after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major source of post-injury stress and barrier to societal reintegration for affected patients. We sought to quantify the labor market implications for tax-filing adult TBI survivors. Methods: We performed a matched difference-in-difference analysis using a national retrospective cohort of working adult TBI survivors injured between 2007-2017. Linear and logistic mixed effects regressions were used to estimate the magnitude of personal income loss and proportion of patients displaced from the workforce in the three post-injury years (Y+1 to Y+3). Results: Among 18,050 patients identified with TBI, the adjusted average loss of personal annual income was $-7,635 dollars in Y+1 and $-5,000 in Y+3. An additional -7.8% individuals were newly unemployed compared to the pre-injury baseline. For mild, moderate, and severe TBI subgroups, income loss was $-3354, $-6750, and $-17375 respectively in Y+3; the proportion of newly unemployed individuals in Y+3 was 5.8%, 9.2%, and 20% lower than baseline. We estimated 500 million dollars of incurred labor markets losses related to TBI in Canada. Conclusions: This work represents the first national cohort data quantifying the labor market implications of TBI. These results may be used to inform post-injury care pathways and vocational rehabilitation. |
