Age, female gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.53, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.47\u20131.60), and fracture of the forearm (OR = 38, 95% CI = 35\u201342) were related to an increased risk of developing CRPS. Over five years, one CRPS case accumulated average insurance costs of $86,900 USD and treatment costs of $23,300 USD. Insurance costs were 19 times and treatment costs 13 times the average costs of accidents without CPRS. Within the first two years after the accident, the number of days lost at work was 20 times higher in patients with CRPS (330\u2009\u00b1\u20097\u2009days) than in patients without CRPS (16.1\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1\u2009days). Two-thirds of all CRPS cases developed long-term work incapacity of more than 90\u2009days.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
