Identifying return-to-work trajectories using sequence analysis

January 2018: Using population-based data in BC over one year, we constructed nine return-to-work trajectory clusters after a work-related musculoskeletal injury. Workers with back strains were most likely to have early sustained return-to-work trajectories; whereas, workers with fractures or dislocations were more likely to have sickness absence trajectories or non-return-to-work trajectories. These results can guide approaches and interventions designed to improve return-to-work outcomes.
