Productivity losses due to acute Covid-19 disease and post Covid-19 condition: results from the longitudinal lifelines Covid-19 cohort: abstract
article
Objective COVID-19 has negatively impacted workers’ productivity, making them unable to work and causing difficulties to perform work and home tasks. Those with post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) potentially experienced productivity loss for longer periods of time. However, the extent and severity of productivity loss due to these conditions is still largely unmeasured, especially across multiple dimensions of productivity, as most studies have focused on absence. This study thus aimed to more accurately quantify productivity loss due to acute COVID-19 and PCC across the pandemic, in terms of absenteeism, presenteeism and unpaid work. Material and Methods Data from workers in the Lifelines COVID-19 cohort with information on productivity loss (N=10,750) from 2020-2022 was used. Participants were grouped as having acute COVID-19, PCC, or sickness absence due to another reason. Productivity loss was quantified in euros using the friction cost method. We performed a twostep quantile regression to investigate the association of acute COVID-19 and PCC to productivity losses.
