“…Alternatively, the lower rate of return to work by 1 year may be explained by differences in sick‐leave regulations between countries. Patients may be less motivated to return to work when state‐funded welfare is available, and so the importance of patient motivation should not be underestimated. In the UK, for example, employers must provide Statutory Sick Pay for up to 28 weeks; thereafter, the state is responsible for at least 70 per cent of the compensation.…”

Background:The increase in prevalence of colorectal cancer among young patients coupled with an older retirement age in developed countries means that more patients are being diagnosed with colorectal cancer while still at work. The aim of this study was to develop prediction models for return to work by 1 and 2 years after the start of sick leave.Methods: This was a retrospective registry-based cohort study of data from a nationwide occupational health service in the Netherlands. Only employed patients with colonic or rectal cancer treated with curative intent were included. Two predictor variable models were developed using multivariable logistic regression with backward selection. Calibration, discrimination and explained variance were used to assess model performance, and internal validation by bootstrapping was performed. Results: Median time to return to work for 317 included patients was 423 (95 per cent c.i. 379 to 467) days. Two-thirds of patients had returned to work by 2 years after the start of the sick leave. Presence of metastases, adjuvant treatment, stoma, emotional distress and postoperative complications were predictors of not returning to work in the 1-year model. In the 2-year model, presence of metastases, emotional distress, postoperative complications, company size and the trajectory of the return-to-work process were predictors. Conclusion: Almost 70 per cent of patients with colorectal cancer in this population returned to work within 2 years after the start of sick leave. The models can be used to guide patients early in colorectal cancer treatment about the likelihood of returning to work, and to identify and modify barriers that could facilitate this.

“…Lower education levels and lower SES worsen the effect of cancer on employment (Heinesen et al, 2013;INCa, 2014;Carlsen et al, 2008). The size of the effect of cancer on employment varies at different timing after diagnosis (Candom, 2014).…”

Introducción: El cáncer de cuello de útero constituye, en todo el mundo, un serio problema de salud pública y puede afectar especialmente a mujeres de nivel socioeconómico bajo y en el grupo de edad reproductiva. Objetivo: Identificar el conjunto de características sociodemográficas, individuales y programáticas presentes en el cotidiano de las mujeres que las hicieron vulnerables al cáncer de cuello de útero. Método: Estudio descriptivo y transversal que abordó las diferentes dimensiones de la vulnerabilidad y tuvo la participación de 99 mujeres con diagnóstico confirmado de cáncer de cuello de útero. Para caracterización de las mujeres se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado compuesto por informaciones dirigidas a los aspectos sociodemográficos, del individuo y relativos a la organización de los servicios de salud. Resultados: El grupo de edad predominante fue entre 40 y 57 años. La mayoría inició actividad sexual entre 15 y 18 años, tuvo hasta cinco parejas sexuales y nunca usó preservativo. Prevalecían las casadas, blancas, enseñanza básica, católicas, renta familiar entre uno y dos salarios mínimos y vivienda propia. Antes del diagnóstico del cáncer cervical, el 45.5% realizaba el examen preventivo anualmente y después de la colecta citopatológica ocurrió al menos una vez al año. La mayor parte buscó el servicio de salud después de los síntomas de la enfermedad. Conclusión: Se hace necesario el desarrollo de intervenciones eficaces de asistencia a la salud de la mujer pautada en el concepto de integridad del cuidado prestado.
