While external humanitarian support may contribute essential services, lack of harmonization and integration of activities between organizations is a constraint to consistent and continuous sleeping sickness control during conflict [ 18, 19].
In the treatment group, the partial sick leave must have been preceded by a continuous phase of sickness absence of at least 60 days.
Since there is a continuous registration of sickness benefit duration by the SSA, a high loss to follow-up with regard to the primary outcome is not expected.
For the Brier score, the distance to the null model was relative large concerning the highly prevalent outcome of return to work, and notably low concerning the less prevalent outcomes of continuous long-term sickness absence and disability pension.
The comparable values of the AUC showed poor results for the return to work outcome, failed results for the continuous long-term sickness absence outcome, but fair results for the disability outcome.
Personalized risk profiles were obtained for five outcomes: employment, unemployment, recurrent sickness absence, continuous long-term sickness absence, and early retirement from the labour market.
This variable can take one of six different values: work (W), unemployment (U), recurrent sickness absence (SA), continuous long-term sickness absence (LTS), disability pension (D), and "temporary out" (TO).
The MiDAS database contains information on all continuous episodes of payment of sickness benefit from the SSIA, i.e. from day 15 in an episode of sick leave.
All recipients of full sickness benefit, whose sick leave had ended with a continuous phase of at least 60 days of payment with the abovementioned diagnoses within the same calendar period, were drawn to the control group.
