本文介绍了一项前瞻性纵向队列研究的肌肉骨骼软组织疼痛损害后，与工作有关的伤害。它侧重于具体的，单变量的预后因素表明，在以前的研究，可能会影响受伤的工人将返回工作或留在工作残疾的可能性在任何时间点。这些因素包括性别、年龄、重返工作岗位的尝试和受伤部位。使用寿命表分析来建模工作残疾的概率。结果表明，男性和女性出现了不同的残疾和重返工作模式。男性更有可能重返工作岗位;然而，女性一旦重返工作岗位，继续工作的可能性高于男性。年龄较大的工人在受伤后的任何给定天数内下班的可能性最高;不太可能重返工作岗位，即使重返工作岗位，再次致残的可能性也更高。与身体其他部位受伤相比，腰部受伤的工人复发的可能性更大。
This paper describes a prospective longitudinal cohort study of musculoskeletal soft tissue pain impairment following a work related injury. It focuses on specific, univariate prognostic factors indicated in previous research studies that might affect the likelihood that injured workers will return to work or remain on work disability at any point in time. These factors include gender, age, return to work attempts and site of injury. Life table analysis was used to model the probability of work disability. The results showed that different disability and return to work patterns emerged for males and females. Males were more likely to return to work; however, females had a higher probability than males of remaining at work once they returned to work. Older workers had the highest probability of being off work any given number of days after injury; were less likely to return to work, and if they did, had a higher probability of becoming disabled again, Efforts to return early to work contributed to a decrease in overall work disability. Workers with low back injuries had a greater likelihood of recurrence compared to injuries at other body sites.
