Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to estimate the lost productivity cost of temporary work absenteeism due to COVID-19.

Methods: This study conducted on all hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in northeastern Iran between February 2020 and March 2022 (10,406 cases). Data were collected from the Hospital Information System. Indirect costs were estimated using the human capital approach. Data were analyzed with the STATA version 17.

Results: The total indirect cost of work absenteeism due to COVID-19 was estimated at $513,688. There was a statistically significant relationship between the mean lost productivity cost and COVID-19 peak, sex, insurance type, age, and hospitalization.

Conclusions: Because the absenteeism costs of COVID-19 had increased in the second peak, which coincided with the summer holidays, the country's crisis management headquarters should pay more attention to formulating and implementing appropriate preventive programs in future epidemics.

新冠肺炎导致伊朗东北部临时缺勤的生产力损失及其决定因素。

目的：本研究旨在估计新冠肺炎导致的临时缺勤的生产力损失成本。方法：本研究对2020年2月至2022年3月期间伊朗东北部所有新冠肺炎住院患者（10406例）进行。数据来自医院信息系统。间接成本采用人力资本法估算。使用STATA版本17分析数据。结果：新冠肺炎导致的缺勤的总间接成本估计为513688美元。平均生产力损失成本与新冠肺炎高峰、性别、保险类型、年龄和住院治疗之间存在统计学显著关系。结论：由于新冠肺炎的缺勤费用在第二个高峰期间增加，而第二个高峰期恰逢暑假，国家危机管理总部应更多地关注制定和实施未来疫情的适当预防方案。
