We identified individuals who had secondary healthcare due to work-related accidents (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091114; 31% women) or to PTSD (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009216; 79% women) in 2012\u20132016.

SA days due to fractures and other injuries increased most, while SA days due to mental diagnoses increased somewhat.  73% of women and 64% of men who had healthcare due to PTSD had at least one new SA spell in the next year. Women increased from 121 to 157 SA\/DP days and men from 112 to 174.
