Vlieland TPMV et al. - The current literature shows that the prevalence of work disability, including work cessation, sick leave, and any other restriction in the work status among patients with chronic arthritis, is substantial. In some studies, a trend towards a decline in work disability in chronic arthritis is seen, possibly reflecting improvements in medical treatment. With prolonged sick leave being a major determinant of job loss, interventions are nowadays developed that specifically address patients with chronic arthritis at a stage in which sick leave occurs, with promising results.
