This study systematically describes and compares work-related outcomes in individuals with and without lower limb osteoarthritis (OA), finding that individuals with lower limb OA have poorer work-related outcomes.
PurposeLower limb osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent condition that has a profound impact on an individual's life in several domains, including occupational activities. The objective of this study was to systematically describe and compare work-related outcomes (e.g., employment status, absenteeism, and productivity loss) in individuals with and without lower limb OA.Materials and methodsFive databases were searched until 17 June 2023. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they compared work-related outcomes between individuals with lower limb OA and healthy controls (e.g., people without OA or the general population).ResultsSeven studies met the inclusion criteria of which two were included in a meta-analysis. Meta-analysis revealed that individuals with OA were less frequently in paid employment than control individuals (odds ratio: 0.25; 95% confidence intervals: 0.12, 0.53). Evidence from single studies indicated greater absenteeism and presenteeism and poorer functional capacity in people with lower limb OA compared to controls.ConclusionsThis systematic review suggests that individuals with lower limb OA have poorer work-related outcomes than those without OA. Low study numbers and lack of consistency in the way work outcomes are defined and measured make accurate quantification of the impact of OA on work challenging.Prospero: registration number: CRD42020178820.ConclusionsThis systematic review suggests that individuals with lower limb OA have poorer work-related outcomes than those without OA. Low study numbers and lack of consistency in the way work outcomes are defined and measured make accurate quantification of the impact of OA on work challenging.Prospero: registration number: CRD42020178820. Individuals with lower limb osteoarthritis (OA) are less frequently in paid employment and experience greater absenteeism and presenteeism and poorer functional capacity than people without OA.For holistic management of lower limb OA, healthcare providers should have conversations about any difficulties experienced at work and include outcome measures related to work.Clinicians should work with individuals with lower limb OA and employers to develop interventions to maximize work participation.
