A process of temporary disability concludes once a medical discharge takes place. A relapse in the same temporary disability process is considered to take place when a new sick leave happens because of the same or a similar pathology within the 180 calendar days following the previous sick leave. If these relapses appear after the medical discharge issued by the Spanish Social Security National Institute, they will be submitted to special statutory requirements consisting of a direct inspection system carried out by Social Security medical inspectors as well as by the Disabilities Assessment Board. Relapses affect directly the definition of the maximum duration of temporary incapacity benefit for each worker. The number of such workers, and thus the Social Security economic costs are lowered by collaborating with the Prevention Services of companies. Its control could benefit from applying artificial intelligence models.

Palabras clave : sick leave; recurrence; relapse; artificial intelligence; social security.
