  1. Number and portion of incident PD sick-leave cases (n = 537) and sick-leave controls (matched for sex, age, and date of sick-leave; n = 537) with ≥1 sick-leave episode in the 1-, 2-, and 5-year-period preceding the sick-leave used for matching. McNemar’s test was used for comparisons. The tenth revision of International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) was used for classification of diagnoses
