The aim of this multi‐center study was to assess predictive factors for work‐day loss as an indirect cost element in Behçet's syndrome (BS).
Methods
In this cross‐sectional, multi‐center study, 834 BS patients (F/M: 441/393, age mean: 38.4 ± 10.9 years) were included. Data were collected by a questionnaire regarding treatment protocols, disease duration, smoking pattern, frequency of medical visits during the previous year and self‐reported work‐day loss during the previous year.
