Data for sickness compensation from 1 year before TSS (index) to up to 2 years after was obtained from national registers. Demographic factors, cognition, and fatigue were evaluated based on impact on number of days to RTW or by comparing the groups of patients with and without RTW 1-year post-surgery<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixty-six patients and 329 matched controls were included. The proportion of patients with sickness compensation was approximately twice that of controls 1 year prior to TSS. The proportion of patients with sickness compensation continued to increase until TSS and decreased thereafter but did not return to the level observed 1 year prior to TSS. Prior sickness compensation and Cushing's disease, albeit this subgroup was small, were predictive of more days to RTW after TSS. Patients without RTW 1-year post-surgery reported more fatigue and more often had adrenal insufficiency compared to the group of patients with RTW.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sickness compensation for patients with pituitary adenoma is mainly limited to the surgical period and the months thereafter.
