Abstract
VILLARREAL RIOS, Enrique et al. Cost of temporary disability allowance for work in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.3, pp.215-222. Epub Jan 11, 2021. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objective:
To determine the cost of temporary disability allowance for work in patients with diabetic retinopathy.
Material and methods:
Cost design on file of patients with diabetic retinopathy and temporary incapacity for work. 201 files registered in the occupational health service were studied. The total cost of disability included nominal salary, days of disability, and the percentage paid of the salary.
Results:
The average daily wage paid is €5.64. The average number of days of disability issued per worker was 129.52 (95% CI; 114.81-144.23). The average total cost of disability paid per worker from the moment he presents ophthalmological complications with labor repercussions until the disability process is issued is €959.41 (IC 95%; 658.46-1,233.35).
Conclusion:
Temporary disability due to diabetic retinopathy consumes institutional resources that must be considered in budget planning.
