A causal approach for the analyses of graded sickness absence

Speaker: Stein Atle Lie, Associate Professor, University of Bergen.

Abstract

Using inverse probability treatment weights (IPTW), this study compares full (100%) to graded (<100%) sickness absence. Structuring of the data, to obtain comparisons that can be interpreted as contrafactual, is crucial for comparisons of sickleave spells during the time span, before calculations of the IPTW.
