“…In this study, no differences in RTW existed between Black or other race participants and White participants among those with favorable surgical outcomes [ 44 ]. Also, when compared to White workers, studies found that non-White (n = 2), other race (n = 1), and Latinx (n = 4) workers were less likely to RTW[ 33 , 34 , 40 , 43 , 45 – 48 ]. Studies from Israel highlighted mixed findings.…”

Purpose Non-White workers face more frequent, severe, and disabling occupational and non-occupational injuries and illnesses when compared to White workers. It is unclear whether the return-to-work (RTW) process following injury or illness differs according to race or ethnicity. Objective To determine racial and ethnic differences in the RTW process of workers with an occupational or non-occupational injury or illness. Methods A systematic review was conducted. Eight academic databases - Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Sociological Abstracts, ASSIA, ABI Inform, and Econ lit - were searched. Titles/abstracts and full texts of articles were reviewed for eligibility; relevant articles were appraised for methodological quality. A best evidence synthesis was applied to determine key findings and generate recommendations based on an assessment of the quality, quantity, and consistency of evidence. Results 15,289 articles were identified from which 19 studies met eligibility criteria and were appraised as medium-to-high methodological quality. Fifteen studies focused on workers with a non-occupational injury or illness and only four focused on workers with an occupational injury or illness. There was strong evidence indicating that non-White and racial/ethnic minority workers were less likely to RTW following a non-occupational injury or illness when compared to White or racial/ethnic majority workers. Conclusions Policy and programmatic attention should be directed towards addressing racism and discrimination faced by non-White and racial/ethnic minority workers in the RTW process. Our research also underscores the importance of enhancing the measurement and examination of race and ethnicity in the field of work disability management.

“…Following burn injury, survivors’ return to work is often limited by barriers including pain, psychiatric issues, and neurologic problems [ 3 ]. Pre-injury employment and post-acute care setting have both been found to be predictors of post-burn employment [ 34 , 35 ]. Although length of stay was controlled for in the analysis, longer hospital stay is a predictor of unemployment at 12 months post-injury [ 3 ].…”

Introduction Inhalation injuries carry significant acute care burden including prolonged ventilator days and length of stay. However, few studies have examined post-acute outcomes of inhalation injury survivors. This study compares the long-term outcomes of burn survivors with and without inhalation injury. Methods Data collected by the Burn Model System National Database from 1993 to 2019 were analyzed. Demographic and clinical characteristics for adult burn survivors with and without inhalation injury were examined. Outcomes included employment status, Short Form-12/ Veterans Rand-12 Physical Composite Score (SF-12/VR-12 PCS), Short Form-12/Veterans Rand-12 Mental Composite Score (SF-12/VR-12 MCS), and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) at 24 months post-injury. Regression models were used to assess the impacts of sociodemographic and clinical covariates on long-term outcome measures. All models controlled for demographic and clinical characteristics. Results Data from 1,871 individuals were analyzed (208 with inhalation injury; 1,663 without inhalation injury). The inhalation injury population had a median age of 40.1 years, 68.8% were

“…The pooled estimate of effect size was 0.52 (95% CI 0.43,0.6) (I 2 = 98.9%); i.e., 52% of the participants returned to some form of employment. There were 14 studies (45,47,48,50,53,(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63) that reported on RTW up to 12 months, one of which had reported on two groups of trauma patients. The pooled estimate of effect size was 0.64 (95% CI 0.53,0.5) (I 2 = 99.2%); i.e., 64% of the participants returned to some form of employment.…”
