    Teržan, Metka
    Sick-list is one of the most important indicators of health state of workers which is one of the often neglected, yet extremely important group of our population, upon which also the well-being of ... all other groups depends. In Slovenia, the sick-list has not changed much over last ten years and amounts to aproximately 5% which is the "golden mean" compared to the rest of Europe. Relevant data are obtained from the data base on sick-leave at the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia and from the sick-leave Analysis for 1998, prepared by the same institute. Diseases of musculosceletal system and connective tissue (chapter XIII of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) which include also radiculopathies, present the most important cause for temporary absence from work beside injuries. As much as 20% of all the sick-leaves present musculosceletal diseases. This chapter contains seven diagnoses which are related to the treated theme: cervical disc disorder with radiculopathy, lumbar and other intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy, cervicobrachial syndrome, cervicocranial syndrome, radiculopathies, sciatica and lumbago with sciatica. Radiculopathies present approximately 28% of all the sick-list owing to diseases of musculosceletal system, and present one of the most important causes for sick-leave. Women must take sick-leave 1.3 timesmore frequently than men due to radiculopathies, while their percentage of sick-leaves dur to all other diseases of musculosceletal system is the sameas in men. However, the duration of sick-leave is in men, longer than in women (38,65 days in comparison with 34,95 days). By far the most frequent cause of absence from work in women are problems with cervical part of vertebral column, while disorders with lumbar part present the same share in women and men.
