“…32 On the other hand, the costs resulting from absenteeism were markedly increased as well: If we extrapolated our estimates to sick leave days per year the participants had on average 81 sick leave days more than women within the German general population who suffered from any mental disease. 45 Nonetheless, we were not able to identify disease specific cost determinants, probably due to the small sample size. Indirect costs and influencing variables, therefore, should be investigated in more detail in a larger sample.…”
Costs resulting from health care utilization and productivity loss are substantial, although the sample studied had not received sufficient treatment. Future research should analyze the development of costs over time.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
