OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to quantify the impact of uterine fibroids (UFs) on work productivity among employed women in the US.
METHODS: Adult women working in health care who reported either being diagnosed with or having UF symptoms completed a survey incorporating the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire specific for UFs.
RESULTS: Among 67 respondents (mean age 43.2 years; 43% in executive/professional roles), 84% reported receiving a UF diagnosis from a health care provider; 16% reported symptoms consistent with UF. Forty-nine (73%) respondents reported a mean overall work impairment score of 33% during the past week due to UF driven by presenteeism (28%) relative to absenteeism (6%). Lost productivity costs were estimated at $387/week.
CONCLUSIONS: Women with UF symptoms report substantial lost productivity, driven primarily by impairment while at work, which also has economic implications.
