INTRODUCTION: The first Danish @entity341 ( @entity1556 ) was introduced May 1st 2010. The implementation was associated with lower 30-day mortality in severely injured @entity1 . The aim of this study was to assess the long-term effects of @entity1556 on labour market affiliation and mortality of @entity130 @entity1 . METHODS: Prospective, observational study with a maximum follow-up time of 4.5 years. @entity130 @entity1 from a 5-month period prior to the implementation of @entity1556 ( @entity1556 ) were compared with @entity1 from the first 12 months after implementation (post- @entity1556 ). All analyses were adjusted for sex, age and Injury Severity Score. RESULTS: Of the total 1994 @entity1 , 1790 were eligible for mortality analyses and 1172 (n=297 @entity1556 and n=875 post- @entity1556 ) for labour market analyses. Incidence rates of @entity2358 or death were 2.40 per 100 @entity1 -years @entity1556 and 2.00 post- @entity1556 ; corresponding to a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.72 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44-1.17; p=0.18). The HR of @entity2358 was 0.79 (95% CI 0.44-1.43; p=0.43). The prevalence of reduced work ability after three years were 21.4% vs. 17.7%, odds ratio (OR)=0.78 (CI 0.53-1.14; p=0.20). The proportions of @entity1 on social transfer payments at least half the time during the three-year period were 30.5% vs. 23.4%, OR=0.68 (CI 0.49-0.96; p=0.03). HR for mortality was 0.92 (CI 0.62-1.35; p=0.66). CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of @entity1556 was associated with a significant reduction in time on social transfer payments. No significant differences were found in @entity2358 rate, long-term mortality, or work ability.
