[Return to work after myocardial infarction. Study of factors in return to work by the statistical method of analysis of correspondences].
A retrospective study has examined the predictive factors of return to work in 184 males patients with myocardial infarction between 1975 and 1982. The statistical method used was that of correspondence analysis which enables to define correlations between variables, here 12 in number. The chances of returning to work are positively correlated to young age (48-52 years), school education and social standing. They were not increased by coronary by-pass surgery. Cardiac insufficiency, and a large area of infarction contribute to the non-return to work, while subsequent angor and arrhythmias do not demonstrate any significant relation. Finally, a patient who has not returned to work after one year seems to have few chances of becoming active again.
