Abstract

Using three different registers a cohort study was undertaken to describe the relationship between type of occupation and hospitalization. A total of 958 096 subjects aged 20-64 years were followed-up for one year regarding inpatient care. Several significant associations between type of occupation and incidence of hospitalization for different diagnoses were observed. Male subjects employed in occupations where a high proportion reported a combination of hectic work and few possibilities to learn new things were more frequently hospitalized for myocardial infarction than other working men. The relative 'hospitalization' ratio for men 20-54 years of age in these strenuous occupations was estimated as 1.6 with a 95% confidence interval of 1.3-1.9. For women, the relative 'hospitalization' ratio in the ages 20-64 in occupations where a high proportion reported a combination of hectic and monotonous work was estimated as 1.6 with a 95% confidence interval of 1.1-2.3. Both these associations were statistically significant even after controlling for 12 possible confounding factors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
