Shift work and risk of occupational, transport and leisure-time injury. A register-based case-crossover study of Danish hospital workers

摘要

Introduction: Shift work has been associated with sleepiness. Sleepiness from shift work may increase the risk of occupational injuries, but could also continue outside of work and increase risk of injury during commuting and leisure time. In this study, we assessed the associations between evening shifts, night shifts and quick returns, and risk of occupational, transport and leisure-time injuries.
