[Short-term time off work: its characteristics at a health centre from 2000-2002 inclusive]. / Incapacidad temporal: características en un centro de salud durante el período 2000-2002.

OBJECTIVE: To describe short-term time off work procedures, its duration and the determining factors in an active population covered by health insurance at a health centre. DESIGN: Descriptive and observational study of prevalence. SETTING: Ribadeo Health Centre, Lugo, Spain. PARTICIPANTS: All sickness certificates issued in 2000-2002 were included (n=1714). MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The age and sex of each patient, amount of time off, place of residence (rural/urban), job (according to CNAE-93), type of social security cover, and cause of illness (according to CIE-9) were all recorded. RESULTS: The short-term time off rate ran at 14.79 per 100 persons a year. Mean age was 40.13 (SD, 12.08); 936 (54.6%) were male. 85.7% of time-off periods were due to chronic illness, 12.2% to accidents not at work and 2.1% to accidents at work. Main associated pathologies were bone and muscular problems (25.7%), respiratory system problems (16.4%), and traumatisms (16.2%). All episodes accounted for the loss of 114,355 working days. Mean days lost per worker were 99.79 (SD, 136.37). Mean days lost per episode were 66.72 (SD, 98.79). Multivariate analysis showed that longer episodes were associated with older patients, women and the self-employed or workers at home. The longest periods off work were caused by cancer and mental disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Age, sex, job, and pathology are variables related to short-term time off work.

Objetivo. Describir las características de los procesos de incapacidad temporal (IT), su duración y los factores determinantes en la población activa asegurada de un centro de salud. Diseño. Estudio observacional de prevalencia, descriptivo. Emplazamiento. Centro de salud de Ribadeo (Lugo). Participantes. Se incluyó el total de partes de baja de IT registrados durante el período 2000-2002 (n = 1.714). Mediciones principales. Se recogieron la edad de cada paciente, el sexo, la duración de la IT, el núcleo de residencia (rural/urbano), la actividad económica (según CNAE-93), el régimen de la seguridad social y la causa de la incapacidad (según CIE-9). Resultados. La tasa de IT fue de 14,79 por 100 personas-año. La media de edad fue de 40,13 ± 12,08 años y 936 (54,6%) procesos correspondieron a varones. Un 85,7% de las bajas se debió a enfermedades comunes, un 12,2% a accidentes no laborales y un 2,1% a accidentes laborales. Los principales grupos de enfermedades asociadas fueron las enfermedades del sistema osteomuscular (25,7%), del aparato respiratorio (16,4%) y los traumatismos (16,2%). El total de episodios supuso la pérdida de 114.355 jornadas laborales. La media de días perdidos por trabajador fue de 99,79 ± 136,37. La media de días perdidos por episodio fue de 66,72 ± 98,79. Según los resultados del análisis multivariable, los episodios de IT de mayor duración se asociaron a pacientes de mayor edad, mujeres y a los regímenes de autónomos o empleados del hogar. Las bajas más largas fueron las causadas por tumores y trastornos mentales. Conclusiones. La edad, el sexo, la profesión y la enfermedad son variables relacionadas con los procesos de IT
