| Abstract |
The aim of this study is to evaluate the construct validity and responsiveness of a Swedish measure of health-related production loss as well as to investigate if there is a difference in the level of production loss within a population suffering from persistent back/neck pain and CMDs. The sample was drawn from a study that assessed employees' health and working capacity in 74 health care units before and after intervention. The study included 692 patients who reported working the previous six months at baseline measurement, and who were also asked to answer questions related to health-related production loss. Health-related measures were general health derived from Short Form-12, health-related quality of life derived from EQ-5D, and work ability derived from the Work Ability Index (WAI). Convergent validity and external responsiveness were assessed using Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient and a linear regression model, respectively. The different measures of health showed a moderate-to-strong correlation with the measure of health-related production loss and fulfilled the criteria for construct validity. Changes in health and work ability led to significant changes in health-related production loss, which demonstrates external responsiveness. This result is valid for both the total population and for the two different subgroups that were evaluated. The present study shows that this measure of health-related production loss is a valid measure for capturing production loss due to illness, and that work ability is more strongly correlated with health-related production loss than people's general health is. The result shows an average of about 50 % reduced production due to illness, with back pain being the most costly. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 December 2015.
All research outputs
#7,468,944
of 22,833,393 outputs
Outputs from BMC Public Health
#7,891
of 14,878 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#119,355
of 386,484 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Public Health
#120
of 230 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,833,393 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,878 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.9. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 386,484 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 230 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
