摘要
Background: To date, hand eczema (HE)-related presenteeism has never been assessed within the general population, and general population-based studies on HE-related sickness absence are limited. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of HE-related presenteeism and sickness absence, and factors associated with HE-related presenteeism, within the Dutch general population. Methods: Within the Lifelines Cohort Study, participants with HE in the last year (aged 18-65 in 2020), were identified by a questionnaire including questions regarding HE-related presenteeism and sickness absence. Socio-demographic factors were collected from 2006 to 2020. Results: Out of the 3.703 included participants with HE, 2.7% (n = 100) reported HE-related presenteeism, with 19.8% (n = 57) among those with severe-to-very-severe HE. HE-related sickness absence was reported by 0.5% (n = 20) and 5.9% (n = 17), respectively. Logistic regression analyses, adjusted for age and sex, showed negative associations between HE-related presenteeism and higher educational attainment, higher income (><euro>2500) and higher occupational skill level, and positive associations for high-risk occupations, chronic HE, moderate and severe-to-very-severe HE (compared to almost clear), atopic dermatitis and occupational wet exposure. Conclusions: A high prevalence of HE-related presenteeism was found among participants with severe-to-very-severe HE. Future studies should focus on longitudinal associations with the clinical course of HE, as HE-related presenteeism might aggravate symptoms of HE.
