Abstract Background Previous research suggests that part-time sickness absence (PTSA) results in better work participation compared to full-time sickness absence (FTSA), but few studies have examined trends in FTSA and unemployment before and after PTSA. Methods This Finnish population-based cohort study included 3406 individuals with first episode (>30 days) of PTSA in 2011 (=PTSA group), 42 510 individuals with FTSA (>30 days) in 2011 (=FTSA group), and 25 167 individuals with no sickness absence (>30 days) in 2011 from the general working-age population. Annual days of FTSA from 2007 to 2015 and unemployment from 2012 to 2015 were measured for the participants of each group. We modeled trends and relative risks for these labor market outcomes using negative binomial regression with generalized estimation equations. Results For the PTSA group, the adjusted mean annual number of FTSA days was 3 in the beginning of the follow-up, 15 a year before the index year, and 8-10 after the index year. The adjusted risk ratio (RR) of FTSA days after versus before PTSA was 1.95 (95% CI 1.75-2.17). For the FTSA group, mean of sickness absence days was 4 in the beginning, 13 a year before the index year and 9-19 after the index year. The mean of FTSA was 1-2 throughout the follow-up in the general population. An increasing slope in unemployment after the index year was observed in all groups, the absolute level of unemployment being highest among FTSA group and lowest among the general population group. Conclusions Long-term PTSA marks a decline in labour market participation. In absolute terms this decline is smaller than that in employees with long-term FTSA. Key messages Part-time sickness absence lasting >30 days marked an increase in full-time sickness absence although the absence levels did not reach those observed after full-time sickness absence of > 30 days. Our results show smaller impairment in labour market outcomes in employees granted a long-term part-time sickness absence than in those with long-term full-time sickness absence.

This chapter focuses on the external effects of emigration on non-migrants, and particularly on the interactions with labor market outcomes in Tunisia before and after the revolution. Using the new Tunisia Labor Market Panel Survey (TLMPS), we conduct an in-depth analysis of the structure and dynamics of migration, including the profile of migrants and their origin households, mainly in terms of skills and spatial composition. We investigate transition matrices, employment status, income for current migrants and returnees, and the evolution of remittances. Our analysis confirms the role of emigration as a safety valve for the Tunisian labor market. Moreover, origin households of migrants have a significantly higher wealth index. Our analysis also tends to confirm the effects of remittances on labor supply of non-migrants, which can have a negative impact on Tunisia’s unemployment rate when a crisis in destination countries affects the remittance rate negatively.

BackgroundEvidence of the consequences of different prehospital pathways before mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in large vessel occlusion stroke is inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the infarct extent and progression before and after MT in directly admitted (mothership) versus transferred (drip and ship) patients using the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS).MethodsASPECTS of 535 consecutive large vessel occlusion stroke patients eligible for MT between 2015 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed for differences in the extent of baseline, post-referral, and post-recanalization infarction between the mothership and drip and ship pathways. Time intervals and transport distances of both pathways were analyzed. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the association between infarct progression (baseline to post-recanalization ASPECTS decline), patient characteristics, and logistic key figures.ResultsASPECTS declined during transfer (9 (8–10) vs 7 (6-9), p<0.0001), resulting in lower ASPECTS at stroke center presentation (mothership 9 (7–10) vs drip and ship 7 (6–9), p<0.0001) and on follow-up imaging (mothership 7 (4–8) vs drip and ship 6 (3–7), p=0.001) compared with mothership patients. Infarct progression was significantly higher in transferred patients (points lost, mothership 2 (0–3) vs drip and ship 3 (2–6), p<0.0001). After multivariable adjustment, only interfacility transfer, preinterventional clinical stroke severity, the degree of angiographic recanalization, and the duration of the thrombectomy procedure remained predictors of infarct progression (R2=0.209, p<0.0001).ConclusionsInfarct progression and postinterventional infarct extent, as assessed by ASPECTS, varied between the drip and ship and mothership pathway, leading to more pronounced infarction in transferred patients. ASPECTS may serve as a radiological measure to monitor the benefit or harm of different prehospital pathways for MT.
