Sickness absence, disability pension, and permanent medical impairment after a car crash
Health loss in the road transport system is a major global public health problem, with approximately 1.35 million people killed annually, and it is also the fifth leading cause of overall burden of disease. Based on the Vision Zero, fatal or serious injuries within the road transport system are unacceptable. This thesis presents a new perspective of health loss after a car crash by examining the short- and long-term situation among people injured, in terms of sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP) and relating them to permanent medical impairment (PMI), the definition of serious injury used in Sweden. The overall aim was to generate knowledge about SA, DP, and PMI among injured passenger car occupants of working age.
