This case–control study evaluates how demographic characteristics and multiple sickness absence measures relate to disability retirement among Abu Dhabi police in the UAE, using conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios.

The impact of various health-related and sickness measures on disability retirement across various occupational group reveal a significant relation. However, current literature lacks understanding in police personnel.  \nMethods: This study examines the roles of demographic and measures of sickness absence on disability retirement among police personnel in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The case–control design was used to predict disability retirement wherein controls were matched with cases according to age and gender from those who worked in the same administration as the case at baseline, to reduce the possible confounding influence of these variables. Conditional logistic regression models were used determine the odds-ratio of various measures of sickness absence in predicting disability retirement.  \nResults: Results indicate that increased number of spells, and number of days of sickness absence can predict disability retirements among police personnel in the UAE. Results indicate that odds ratios for disability retirement for the total exposure period increased from 1.76 (95% CI = 1 .42-2. 20) for spells of 4-7d to 2.47 (95%CI = 1 .79-3.40) for spells of > 4 weeks. When compared with their married counterparts, non-married police employees had a statistically significant increase in odds of disability retirement of almost three fold (OR = 2 . 93, 95% CI = 1 .55-5. 56) . Non-field and field police officers, on the other hand, had significantly reduced odds of disability retirement compared with admin/ supportive staff (OR = 0.43 and 0.28 with 95% CI = 0 .19-0.96 and 0.13-0.61 respectively) . Odds ratios of disability retirement at end of the exposure period for the matching variables with those obtained after additionally adjusting for all demographic variables (model b), namely, marital status, occupation, employment grade and type, and educational level. The odds ratios of disability retirement remained significantly raised for the total number of days of sickness absence and for the number of spells of sickness absence for all spell types.  \nConclusions: Recommendation to reduce the number of future disability retirements among Abu Dhabi Police include structured problem-solving process addressed through stepwise meetings between the line-managers and the employee.  \nKeywords: Abu Dhabi, Police, Sickness absence, Disability retirement, Case–control design  \n*Correspondence: [falkaabi@ra.ac.ae](falkaabi@ra.ac.ae)  \nFaculty of Resilience, Rabdan Academy, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates  \nBackground  \nWork-related disability retirement in working-aged people, especially due to long-term sickness absence has been a subject of investigation for over two decades now  \n© The Author(s) 2022.
