Resumo
As afecções do manguito rotador, dentre elas as relacionadas ao tendão supra-espinal, são problemas comuns na população, sobretudo devido à sobrecarga ocupacional, o que leva a altos índices de afastamento do trabalho. Buscou-se, então, comparar a necessidade de afastamento de trabalho entre os diferentes estados da afecção do tendão supra-espinal e entre cinco diferentes grupos profissionais, tendo a participação de pacientes que apresentavam diagnóstico da afecção. Os indivíduos foram agrupados quanto ao estado da doença (tendinite, ruptura parcial, ruptura total) e quanto aos aspectos biomecânicos da ocupação (ramo de serviços, construção civil, trabalhadores domésticos, lavradores e seguranças). Teste qui-quadrado de Pearson, análise de dependência e teste exato para uma proporção foram realizados. Os resultados apontaram que 62 (55%) estavam afastados da atividade laboral e que os grupos com maior número de afastados foram o do ramo de serviços (38,71%) e lavradores (22,58%), segundo Pearson. A maior freqüência de casos de afastamento foi registrada no estágio de tendinite (p<0,05) pela análise de dependência e a ocupação de lavrador parece deixar o indivíduo por mais tempo afastado (p=0,02), segundo teste de Pearson.
Rotator cuff disease, among others damage of the supraspinatus tendon mainly caused by work overload, is a common problem in the population resulting in a high incidence of sick leaves. In the present survey we sought to compare the need for sick leaves in relation to different stages of supraspinatus tendon affection and in relation to five different groups of workers. Our study counted with the participation of patients who were diagnosed with this condition. The individuals were grouped according to stages of the disease (tendonitis, partial rupture, total rupture) and according to the biomechanical aspects of their occupation (general services, civil construction, domestic workers, farm workers and security guard services). Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-square test, dependence analysis and exact test. Results revealed that 62 (55%) of the individuals were on sick leave. The highest rates of sick leaves according to Pearson's test occurred in the groups general services (38,71%) and farm workers (22,58%). According to the dependence analysis, tendonitis (p<0,05) was the most frequent reason for sick leaves and, according to Pearson's test, farm work seems to keep the individual for a longer space of time unfit for duty (p=0,02).
