ABSTRACT

Introduction: Stroke affects 28% of the economically active population. The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with an early return to work after first stroke in patients of the Unit of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center of the Mexican Social Security Institute. Material and methods: Observational, analytical, retrospective-prospective study. Data were collected (age, gender, laterality, type and location of the stroke, previous and current occupation, scholarship, socioeconomic level and time for return to work) through the medical records. Relative frequencies, measures of central tendency and dispersion were calculated. For the association in discrete variables, χ2 was used, considering a significant difference as a p ‹ 0.05. Results: Of 100 patients, 28% returned to work and 20% had an early return to work. The time for return to work was on average six months. Scholarship, type and location of the lesion, previous occupation, gender and age had no statistical association. Socioeconomic level had a statistical association for return to work, but not for early return to work. Conclusions: Return to work takes place in three out of 10 patients who suffered a stroke, of which two are likely to an early return to work. The socioeconomic level is a predictive factor for return to work.
