“…Excluding days with night and evening work during the past week within analyses of evening and night work, respectively, did not change the conclusions. With all workers included, our results of a higher risk of injury after evening and night work during the past week compared with day work, are generally in line with previous studies (19)(20)(21)(22). Another study using payroll information found a higher risk of occupational injuries in afternoon shifts (IRR 1.66, 95% CI 1.23-2.25) and midnight shifts (IRR 1.72, 95% CI 1.26-2.36) compared with day shifts among US police officers (19).…”

“…Previous studies have found an increased risk of injury among individuals who work night compared to day shifts (18)(19)(20) or shifts other than the night shift (21,22); similar results have been observed among workers with non-regular day work compared with those with regular day work (23,24). Furthermore, the number of consecutive night shifts (4) and night shifts in the past week have been associated with a higher risk of injury (25,26).…”

“…As done in the studies of Kleppa et al , 26 Hannerz and Albertsen (2014) 16 and Larsen et al , 27 the present study treated the workers’ usual WWH as a categorical variable, with 32–40 WWH as a reference, 41–48 WWH to represent overtime work which lies within the limits of the European Working Time Directive and 49–100 WWH to represent overtime work beyond the threshold of the directive.…”

“…The statistical analyses are thereby blinded in the sense that all hypotheses, inclusion criteria, significance levels, and statistical models will be completely defined before we look at any relation between working time arrangements and psychotropic drugs or psychiatric hospital treatment in the datasets at hand. It should, however, be noted that the exposure data of the project have previously been analyzed in relation to circulatory disease [ 38 , 40 , 48 , 49 ], injuries [ 50 ], and all-cause mortality [ 41 , 42 ].…”
