| Abstract | A random sample including 2342 cases representative of all occupational back injuries in Quebec (1981) was followed up prospectively over three years to assess the recurrence rate of back problems (lumbar, thoracic, and cervical). Each medical and accident report was reviewed to obtain the site of symptoms and occupation. Age, sex, industrial sector, and number of episodes of absence from work were abstracted from the computerised Quebec Compensation Board files. The recurrence rate was 20.0% at one year follow up and 36.3% at three years. A multivariate analysis using a Poisson regression, was performed to model the risk of recurrence over time. Men had a higher chance of recurrence (risk ratio = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.50-2.27) but among recurrent cases, the average total number of episodes was comparable between men and women. Age showed a protective effect on the probability of recurrence (10 years: RR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.88-0.98) due to the lower recurrence rate in the 45-64 year old group (31.8%). Cervical and lumbar symptoms had identical recurrence profiles whereas thoracic symptoms had a significantly lower recurrence rate. Drivers had the highest recurrence rate (42.1%) and nurses had the highest average number of recurrences (2.03) among recurrent cases. Both occupations had statistically significant excesses after controlling for the other variables. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
