Background In recent years, bicycle injuries have increased, yet little is known about impact of such injures on sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP). The aim was to explore the long-term patterns of SA and DP among injured bicyclists. Methods A longitudinal register-based study was conducted, including all individuals aged 18-59 years and living in Sweden, who in 2010 had incident in- or specialized out-patient healthcare for injuries sustained in a bicycle crash. Information about sociodemographics, the injury, SA, DP, and deaths were obtained from several nationwide registers. Weekly SA/DP data for four years: one year before and three years after the crash were used in sequence and cluster analyses. Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for factors associated with each sequence cluster. Results Among all 6465 individuals injured in a bicycle crash 2010, five clusters were identified: No SA or DP (60.2%), Immediate SA (17.7%), Episodic SA (15.3%), Part-time DP (1.6%), and Full-time DP (5.2%). Compared to the cluster No SA or DP, all other clusters had high ORs for female sex, older age, living in small cities/villages, and inpatient care. Immediate SA also had high ORs for cyclists who sustained a fracture (OR 5.53; CI 4.47-6.83), dislocation (3.26; 2.29-4.65), sprains and strains (2.29; 1.68-3.10), and internal injuries (4.39; 1.95-9.90). Episodic SA had high ORs for other traumatic brain injury than concussion (6.27; 2.23-17.64) and injuries located in the spine and back (3.52; 2.12-5.86), torso (1.78; 1.29-2.45), upper extremities (1.95; 1.54-2.46), and lower extremities (1.85; 1.43-2.41). Conclusions Having SA in direct connection to the crash was associated with type of injury, in contrast to Episodic SA where the injured body region was of more importance, in particular other traumatic brain injuries and injuries to the spine and back. Key messages This nationwide study of new bicycle crashes found five clusters of sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP) sequences; No SA or DP, Immediate SA, Episodic SA, Part-time DP, and Full-time DP. The type of injury was more important for SA in direct connection to the crash, while the injured body region was of more importance for continued and repeated SA up to three years after the crash.
