    Context and Objective: The national and international literature have studies linking absenteeism with the existence of musculoskeletal diseases and occupational risks, but without a focus on the outcomes of the absences due to these diseases, which is the goal of this study. Design and setting: This is a historical cohort of federal employees from a university (Universidade Federal de São Paulo - UNIFESP-EPM) Methods: We analyzed medical records of servers absent by a minimum of 30 days and analyzed data including age, gender, time of absence, diagnosis and outcome of removal (sick leave, return to activity, activity change and retirement) Results: We evaluated a total of 7573 events and 1792 were included in the category M of ICD-10 and 5781 in the other categories. Retirement for ICD-10 M (45,2%) was higher than the other diagnoses (27.6%) being the main type because of disability (22.6%), followed by years of service (16.4%) and proportional (6.2%) with p <0.001. The time off also was statistically higher in the M class ICD-10 (41,2%) compared to the other classes (36.8%). Conclusions: Our study showed a higher rate of retirements, as well as higher rate of absence, and longer time of absence in employees diagnosed with musculoskeletal disorders, justifying clinical studies aiming the realization of preventive interventions in occupational health

    Background: Approximately 10% of the general population worldwide acquires influenza infection every year. Airline crews run a particularly high risk of contracting influenza and influenza-like viruses because they come in contact with hundreds of potentially infected individuals every day. Respiratory diseases are the most frequent cause of absenteeism among flight crews in airline companies. Several studies have shown the efficacy of influenza vaccination in the workplace of healthy, working adults leading to increased productivity and lower absenteeism. We conducted a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study on flight crews of an airline company in order to determine the safety and efficacy of a trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in reducing illness and absences from work. Methods: The 813 healthy members of a Brazilian airline company were randomly assigned to receive injections of either an influenza vaccine or a placebo, with a follow-up period of 7 mo after vaccination. Primary outcomes included influenza-like illness episodes and absenteeism from work due to such episodes. Results. Demographic characteristics were similar in the two groups. No significant side-effects occurred in either group, Compared to the placebo group, individuals receiving the vaccine showed 39.5% fewer episodes of flu-like illness (p < 0.001) and 26% fewer days of work lost (p = 0.03). The vaccinated group developed 33% fewer episodes of any severe flu-like illness (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The data indicates that influenza vaccination is safe in airline flight crews and may produce health-related benefits including reduced absenteeism.
