okay uh let's say something about features work and elective these after traumatic hand injury
00:00:06
a a handy wrist injuries are the single most expensive type of injury
00:00:10
i'm more expensive on the other categories listed here and this is mainly due to their high uh productivity
00:00:16
cost patients would hand every strum are mostly in there working age and they almost always miss
00:00:22
a sort of their work and this makes them a very expensive type of injury
00:00:28
so it's worth partners in which patients are at risk for problem time of work
00:00:32
uh encourage literature several proposed factors have been identified those are listed here
00:00:38
however a great literature is a known by a low level of evidence with
00:00:43
menu retrospective cohort studies with small groups and it often found opposing outcomes
00:00:50
so we decided to set up a study looking for partners to factors for return to work about partially in fully
00:00:57
uh eighty a resumption only resumption and the time into patients were free of symptoms
00:01:04
so we set up a perspective course study and we included for onto aids patients
00:01:09
i data was collected through direct interviews patients were contacted every two three months
00:01:15
it was a single sender study and we include it's all adults
00:01:19
would handle this trauma who presented at the emergency departments
00:01:23
we followed them for six to nine months and we ended up with the complete follow up in eighty seven percent of patients
00:01:32
here are the baseline characteristics uh males or females are almost equally distributed in a group
00:01:38
um the majority of patients eighty eight per cents a
00:01:42
saw the trauma as an accident restaurant falls in
00:01:46
a minority of twelve percent of patients us all the trauma of blame someone else for trauma
00:01:53
uh most of the patients in group we're we're blue collar workers uh almost two thirds
00:02:01
uh i hated cats go viewed a a diagnosis under frequencies are listed uh in the disco ready structure
00:02:08
mccorkle fracture very common uh is descending listed more rare diagnosis liked a trick but to fracture
00:02:17
okay let's proceed to the outcomes i'm here to patients uh
00:02:21
injector dominant hands are uh and displayed in white bars
00:02:25
i see that patients who injured or dominant hands uh i take longer to
00:02:28
resume all the activities that take longer to reach into work partially fully
00:02:33
longer today uh until there should be a d. l. there will be and it takes some longer to be free of symptoms
00:02:42
when you look at gender yeah i see the females in the back in the black bars
00:02:46
a female steak also longer than men to shoe mold activities
00:02:51
and they have a sentence for a bit longer
00:02:56
uh we look at patients who had a complication does are listed in the white bars and you
00:03:01
see the complication uh makes patients which into work much later uh both partially or fully
00:03:08
uh the basic load resume eighty l. your hobbies and i
00:03:11
have symptoms for a yeah more than twice as long
00:03:18
we look at a blading for trauma a patients who blame someone else
00:03:22
for their trauma uh that that's listed in the black bars
00:03:27
yeah take twice as long to return to work and they have a symptoms for more than twice as long
00:03:36
we look at the type of work this was the strongest predictor for return
00:03:39
to work um you see the blue collar workers in the white bars
00:03:44
much longer to return to work and then uh and then the white collar workers
00:03:51
here's a list of the diagnoses and it's on mental patients which are into work fully
00:03:56
um patients wooden amputation or dissuade you structure take relatively long and it's a dissenting listed
00:04:02
a mallard finger uh they should another thing to go to work almost immediately
00:04:09
so to conclude spotless affects for trying to work our uh that they should look or job
00:04:13
take much longer patients with a complication take much longer those are the two strongest predictors
00:04:19
uh for the more patients who blame someone else for the trauma take
00:04:22
longer and patients of female gender take longer thank you ha
00:04:31
