Computational Method in the Examination of Temporary Disability for Vertebrogenic Diseases of the Nervous System

The struggle for the reduction of morbidity with temporary disability acquires special importance in conditions of acceleration of socio-economic development of the country. Various kinds of errors in the examination of temporary disability - unreasonable issuance or prolongation of the certificate of incapacity for work and, on the contrary, unjustified refusal to issue and prolong the certificate of incapacity for work - have a significant impact on the formation of the morbidity rate. Due to the insufficient staffing of polyclinics with doctors of narrow specialties, certain difficulties in the examination of temporary disability are experienced by therapists when admitting non-specialized patients. As studies have shown, 72-81% of the patients from the total number of those examined by neurologists were referred to them by district therapists, while 32% of them did not need neurological care.
