Wang M, et al. - Trajectories of sickness absence and disability pension (SA/DP) among individuals with or without acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were investigated, along with an evaluation of the links between sociodemographic, morbidity and coronary revascularisation characteristics with such trajectories among patients with AMI. Most of the AMI patients had low levels of work disability within 2 years after AMI. Important sources of clinical information on work disability after AMI were: patterns of SA/DP before AMI, sex, socioeconomic status as well as comorbid musculoskeletal and mental disorders.
