Likelihood to return to work for workers with violence-related incidents (WVI) compared with workers with non-violence-related incidents (WNVI) on sickness absence during 1-year follow-up
| Days after injury | Number of workers still on claim at end of time period (violence n=2 881, non-violence n=2 881) | Unadjusted model (HR (95% CI)) | Adjusted model* (HR (95% CI)) |
| 0–30 | WVI (n=1292) vs WNVI (n=1384) | 1.09 (1.02 to 1.17) | 1.10 (1.03 to 1.18) |
| 31–60 | WVI (n=884) vs WNVI (n=916) | 0.95 (0.83 to 1.08) | 0.95 (0.83 to 1.09) |
| 61–90 | WVI (n=657) vs WNVI (n=619) | 0.76 (0.64 to 0.90) | 0.76 (0.63 to 0.90) |
| 91–180 | WVI (n=417) vs WNVI (n=333) | 0.74 (0.62 to 0.87) | 0.74 (0.62 to 0.88) |
| 181–270 | WVI (n=342) vs WNVI (n=260) | 0.84 (0.60 to 1.16) | 0.84 (0.61 to 1.17) |
| 271–365 | WVI (n=302) vs WNVI (n=234) | 1.20 (0.72 to 1.98) | 1.22 (0.74 to 2.02) |
