Article Synopsis
- A study examined the impact of acute and chronic pain on economic and quality-of-life outcomes using data from the World Trade Center Health Registry during 2020-2021.
- The findings revealed that individuals with severe pain experienced significantly higher odds of early retirement (3.12 times), low household income (5.34 times), income decline (2.56 times), and poor health days (14.4 times) compared to those without pain.
- The results suggest that both acute and chronic pain can have lasting negative effects on a person's financial stability and overall well-being long after the initial diagnosis.
