Abstract
Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) are understood to reduce levels of paid productivity. Productivity, including absenteeism and presenteeism, is arguably an important factor for consideration in economic evaluations of workplace interventions for RMDs (WPI-RMDs). Existing methods available to quantify and value absenteeism and presenteeism are heterogeneous and produce estimates that vary substantially across studies. To date, there has been no systematic summary of the reporting quality of methods used to quantify paid productivity included in economic evaluations of WPI-RMDs.Keywords
