Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety, Hopkinton (Dr Besen and Dr Pransky) and Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts (Dr Harrell III).
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the associations between lag times following occupational low back injury and the length of work disability.
Methods: In a retrospective cohort study using workers' compensation claims, random effects Tobit models were used to explore how disability length relates to three lag times: the number of days from the date of injury to reporting the injury, the number of days from the date of injury to medical care, and the number of days from the date of injury to initiating work disability.
Results: In general, shorter lag times for each of the different lags were related to shorter lengths of disability.
