"This paper adds to the limited literature on specific occupational exposures and risk of sick leave during pregnancy. The paper is based on a large population-based cohort of pregnant women with the opportunity to adjust for a number of potential confounders. The occupational exposures are based on self-reports and give the opportunity to investigate dose–response relations."
