The Effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis on Labor Force Participation, Work Performance, and Healthcare Costs in Two Workplace Samples

Objective: To assess the workplace costs of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from the employer perspective. Method: Samples included 4485 manufacturing firm (MF) employees (109 with RA) and 915 commercially insured (CO) subscribers (333 with RA). Respondents completed the Health and Work Performance (Quest...

description Objective: To assess the workplace costs of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from the employer perspective. Method: Samples included 4485 manufacturing firm (MF) employees (109 with RA) and 915 commercially insured (CO) subscribers (333 with RA). Respondents completed the Health and Work Performance (Questionnaire (HPQ) and the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). The effects of RA were estimated using regression analysis. Results: RA was associated with increased probability of no longer working (CO), increased effort to maintain work performance (CO), increased sickness absence (MF), and increased non-RA pharmacy costs (CO). RA was not associated with hours worked or hourly wage. Indirect costs of RA did not exceed direct medical costs. Conclusions: Indirect costs of RA to employers are significant and warrant further research to increase our understanding of the contribu tion of different RA treatment interventions to optimizing workforce productivity.
