The authors analyze the development of work incapacity in ambulatory patients treated in 1979-1987 by sex, age and period of work incapacity. They used graphic illustrations of time series with a regression line which indicates a rising or declining trend of work incapacity. The analysis revealed that the work incapacity has, with the exception of men aged 15-24 years, a rising trend in particular in women. According the authors this can be partly explained by changes and extension of therapeutic activities in ambulatory surgeries. Certain reserves are also in the planning of therapeutic procedures and control activity.
