  1. Distribution of historical sick-leave days among incident PD sick-leave cases (n = 537) and sick-leave controls (matched for sex, age, and date of sick-leave; n = 537) in the 1-, 2-, and 5-year-period preceding the sick-leave used for matching. Sick-leave episodes ≤14 days and days 1–14 of sick-leave episodes >14 days are not shown. Wilcoxon signed-rank 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
