12 Long-term sick leave, defined as nine consecutive sickness benefit weeks, was validated on the same study population.
The four youngest mature leaves (defined as leaf with petiole) from a single plant were harvested, pooled and viewed as one biological replicate.
DREAM data on sickness benefit has been used for follow-up studies, where return to work (RTW) [ 21- 27], sick leave defined as absence > 2 3 weeks [ 28- 32] and long-term sick leave defined as absence >8 weeks [ 29, 31- 40] have been used as endpoints.
