Disease relevance of Employment

• Among patients with uveitis, visual acuity, binocular involvement, intensity of therapy, employment status, and PCS and MCS scores were all significantly associated with overall NEI VFQ-25 scores in multivariable analysis [1].
• At follow-up, patients were contacted by phone and were asked about employment status and history of ICD discharges or syncope [2].
• OBJECTIVE: To study the role of parental employment status as indicator of socio-economic status (SES) in the origin of neural-tube defect (NTD) and in the use of periconceptional folic acid/multivitamin supplementation [3].
• RESULTS: Spatial, marital and occupational status differentials in myocardial infarction mortality increased over time, more especially variations by occupational status, inland/metropolitan differences, and married/divorced or widowed variation [4].
• We assessed the self-perceived health status of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) living in the Province of Milan, and the consequences of the disease on family, social and occupational status, using a cross-sectional mail survey [5].

Psychiatry related information on Employment

• The scales were highly sensitive to the handicapping effects of increasing seizure frequency, employment status, the impact of epilepsy on career choice and the subject's own opinion as to the major determinant of their quality of life [6].
• Given the present rate of producing psychiatrists, shifts in demands for psychiatric services, changing payment and access patterns regarding specialty medical care, increasing numbers of nonpsychiatrist mental health professionals, and a probable surfeit of primary care physicians, underemployment of psychiatrists may become commonplace [7].
• Post hoc analyses were conducted to examine health behaviors as a potential mechanism to account for the association between employment status and cholesterol [8].
• Qualitative analysis showed that friendship and family relationships and occupational status were the most significant dimensions influenced by MS [9].
• The association changed only slightly when smoking, occupational status, previous diseases, systolic blood pressure, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, plasma fibrinogen concentration, body mass index, marital status, leisure time physical activity, and involvement in organisations were controlled for [10].

High impact information on Employment

• Quality of life, employment status, and anginal symptoms after coronary angioplasty or bypass surgery. 3-year follow-up in the Randomized Intervention Treatment of Angina (RITA) Trial [11].
• OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of infliximab therapy on the employment status of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [12].
• A poorer SLE well-being score, a combination of education and employment status, and a weaker level of social support were the best predictors of higher indirect costs (R2 = 0.29) [13].
• Of these patients with IBS, 93.7% were matched based on age, sex, employment status, and ZIP code to a control population of beneficiaries [14].
• Although direct costs of COPD are well documented, the impact of COPD and its severity on labor force participation is not well known [15].

Chemical compound and disease context of Employment

• Parental employment status and neural-tube defects and folic acid/multivitamin supplementation in Hungary [3].

Biological context of Employment

• Conclusions were not changed after adjustment in a logistic regression model for the sex of the child; parity; or maternal age, height, weight, marital status, years of education, occupational status, and alcohol and caffeine intake during pregnancy [16].
• RESULTS: The MMPAP predicted with 90% accuracy employment status of SSA disability applicants with chronic pain 6 months postdecision when assessed at application by two physicians trained in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (physiatry) [17].

Associations of Employment with chemical compounds

• Marked differences were found between users recruited at these sites, especially in relation to age, gender, employment status, criminal history, history of prostitution, previous drug misuse treatment, duration of cocaine use and lifetime use of intravenous cocaine [18].
• The association persisted after adjustment for age, number of cigarettes smoked, alcohol intake, occupational status, family history of cancer, body mass index, and serum cholesterol [19].
• Of the ten client characteristics that we analysed, three--a history of imprisonment, a history of dependence on barbiturates or benzodiazepines and employment status at entry--were included with "clinic" and maximum dose of methadone in the Cox regression models [20].
• RESULTS: Oral steroid bursts, day and night symptom frequencies, age, gender, education level, and employment status all had a significant relationship to medical utilization [21].
• RESULTS: Analyses controlled for age, education, employment status, duration since diagnosis, and azidothymidine (AZT) use [22].

Gene context of Employment

• METHODS: In 1999, 497 RA patients of working ages (18-64 years) reported their employment status in the year of diagnosis and as of the study year, in structured telephone interviews [23].
• This study examines the associations between employment status and QoL in COPD patients [24].
• RESULTS: At Wave 1 both groups of Wave 2 non-participants had reported lower occupational status and fewer years of education, had achieved lower verbal IQ scores and cognitive performance scores and experienced some distress from the interview [25].
• Having ADHD is associated with lower levels of education and employment status [26].
• This case-control study consisted of 34 IDDM patients (14 on multiple injection therapy, 20 on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII], and control subjects matched for sex, age, weight, height, body mass index, smoking behavior, and occupational status) [27].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Employment

• Based on labor force histories drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Older Men, we observed that the occupational roles held through the mid and late career combine additively to influence retirement and disability experiences, with different conditions of work coming into play depending on the career stage [28].
• The groups were similar in age, sex, education, injury severity (assessed on the Glasgow Coma Scale, radiologic and neuropsychologic findings, neurosurgical interventions), time from the injury, and preinjury employment status [29].
• This research utilizes data from the disability supplement of the 2000 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to examine the impact of disability status on predicting employment status and income [30].
• Other factors including diabetes knowledge, home blood glucose monitoring, gender, body mass index, clinic attendance and occupational status were not significantly associated with retinopathy or neuropathy in the present study population [31].
• This study examined changes in employment status and quality of work in 109 chronic pain patients who underwent a cognitive-behavioural pain management course; 68% of patients were female, mean age was 45 years, mean pain chronicity 10.7 years, 70% had spinal pain, and mean impairment on the Sickness Impact Profile was 26% [32].
