早发性痴呆（EOD）影响患者和家庭成员的就业。为了证明员工在自己或家人被诊断为EOD后离职的可能性有多大，我们使用索赔数据库对143名员工和77名被诊断为EOD的家庭成员进行了匹配队列研究。我们将这些参与者与5个对照组进行匹配，并跟踪他们大约600天。在员工队列中，EOD患者比对照组更有可能离职（风险比：2.26）。这表明，医疗服务提供者应该在诊断后立即为患者提供就业支持。
Early-onset dementia (EOD) affects the employment of patients and family members. To demonstrate how likely employees are to leave their jobs after an EOD diagnosis for themselves or a family member, we conducted a matched cohort study of 143 employees and 77 family members diagnosed with EOD using a claims database. We matched these participants to 5 controls each, and followed them for approximately 600 days. In the employee cohort, patients with EOD were more likely to leave their jobs than were controls (hazard ratio: 2.26). This suggests that healthcare providers should offer employment support to patients just after diagnosis.
