BACKGROUND This study compares differences in quality-adjusted life expectancy across the eight original National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) industry sectors. METHODS Data from the 1997 to 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were used to estimate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for all workers and by NORA sector. Differences in QALYs were calculated and translated into e...

Although normalised residual activity (NORA) and output efficiency (OE) are usually measured at a fixed time t, their dependency on t may affect the prediction of mean transit time (MTT). This study aimed to evaluate their degree of dependency on t and to determine an optimal time of measurement by assessment of their relationship with MTT for various times t. A simulation model generated 232 c...
