背景常见的疼痛状况似乎对工作有不利影响，但美国劳动力因疼痛而损失的生产时间数量没有全面的估计。目的（缺席和：设计和设置使用美国生产力审计调查数据的横断面研究（使用工作和健康访谈的电话调查），2001年8月1日至7月30日，2002年，随机抽取28902名美国在职成年人作为研究对象。主要结果：（关节炎、背痛、头痛，和其他肌肉骨骼）结果13%的劳动力在2008年和2009年的生产时间损失，由于常见的疼痛状况，需要2周的时间。头痛是最常见的（5.4%）疼痛状况，导致生产时间损失。其次是背痛（3.2%），关节炎疼痛（2.0%）和其他骨骼疼痛。(2.0%）因疼痛状况而损失生产时间的工人平均损失（SE）为4.6（0.09）h/wk。头痛工人的平均（SE）生产时间损失为3.5（0.1）h/wk。报告关节炎或背痛的工人平均（SE）损失生产时间为5.2（0.25）小时/周。其他常见疼痛状况导致生产时间平均（SE）损失为5.5（0.22）h/wk。在活跃的工人中，由于常见的疼痛状况而损失的生产时间估计每年花费612亿美元。大部分（76.6%）的生产时间的损失被解释为性能下降，而在工作中，而不是工作absence.Conclusions疼痛是一个非常常见的和禁用条件在美国的劳动力。大多数与疼痛相关的生产时间损失发生在员工工作时。大多数与疼痛相关的生产时间损失发生在员工工作时，并且以减少的形式出现。性能
Context Common pain conditions appear to have an adverse effect on work, but no comprehensive estimates exist on the amount of productive time lost in the US workforce due to pain.Objective To measure lost productive time (absence and:reduced performance due to common pain conditions) during a 2-week period.Design,and Setting Cross-sectional study using survey data from the American Productivity Audit (a telephone survey that uses the Work and Health Interview) of working adults between August 1, 2001, and July 30, 2002.Participants Random sample of 28902 working adults in the United States.Main Outcome Measures Lost productive time due to common pain conditions (arthritis, back, headache, and other musculoskeletal) expressed in hours per worker per week and calculated in US dollars.Results Thirteen percent of the total workforce experienced a loss in productive time during a 2-week period due to a common pain condition. Headache was the most common (5.4%) pain condition resulting in lost productive time. It was followed by back pain (3.2%), arthritis pain (2.0%), and other mosculoskeletal pain. (2.0%) Workers who experienced lost productive time from a pain condition lost a mean (SE) of 4.6 (0.09) h/wk. Workers who had a headache had a mean (SE) loss in productive time of 3.5 (0.1) h/wk. Workers who reported arthritis or back pain had mean (SE) lost productive times of 5.2 (0.25) h/wk. Other common pain conditions resulted in a mean (SE) loss in productive time of 5.5 (0.22) h/wk. Lost productive time from common pain conditions among active workers costs an estimated $61.2 billion per year. The majority (76.6%) of the lost productive time was explained by reduced performance while at work and not work absence.Conclusions Pain is an inordinately common and disabling condition in the US work-force. Most of the pain-related lost productive time occurs while employees are at work-force. Most of the pain-related lost productive time occurs while employees are at work and is in the form of reduced. performance.
