Estimated model coefficients, odds ratios (OR) and mean ratios (MR) with 95 CI from fitting a zero-inflated negative binomial regression Model 3 including age, occupational grade, gender, musculoskeletal impairment, insufficient sleep and self-rated future working ability as covariates.
The estimate of the dispersion parameter was 0.62.
Zero-inflated part refers to the model component for predicting membership to the subpopulation A with high propensity to zero absence, and negative binomial part to the component predicting the days on sick leave among the susceptible subpopulation B. To facilitate interpretation, for the zero-inflation part we have provided the ORs associated with the complementary propensity to having any sickness absencethat is, inclusion in subpopulation B.
