目的：本研究旨在评估膀胱过度活动症（OAB）对雇主造成的间接工作损失成本。方法：研究样本来自120万受益人的行政数据库，包括医疗和残疾索赔（1999-2002年）。将OAB员工与无OAB的匹配员工进行比较。结果：OAB与工作损失的年发生率相关（P < 0.01）。与没有OAB的员工相比，OAB的员工因与医疗有关的缺勤而多出2.2天的工作损失，因残疾而多出3.4天的工作损失（两项比较P < 0.01）。OAB患者的残疾风险增加（P < 0.01），女性患者的残疾风险高于男性患者（P < 0.01）。结论：这项研究发现，OAB与雇主的工作损失成本有关，这是由于员工病假数量增加和员工残疾风险增加。
Objective: This study assessed the indirect work loss costs to employers as the result of employees with overactive bladder (OAB). Methods: Study samples were drawn from an administrative database of 1.2 million beneficiaries, including medical and disability claims (1999–2002). OAB employees were compared with matched employees without OAB. Results: OAB was associated with higher annual occurrences of work loss (P < 0.01). Employees with OAB had 2.2 excess work loss days as the result of medically related absenteeism and 3.4 excess days as the result of disability compared with employees without OAB (P < 0.01 for both comparisons). Employees with OAB had increased risk of disability (P < 0.01), and female employees with OAB had a higher risk of disability than male employees (P < 0.01). Conclusions: This study found that OAB was associated with work loss costs to employers resulting from increased number of employee sick days and increased risk of employee disability.
