About

The literature is quite rich concerning the factors which influence the return to work after acute coronary syndrome. They can be divided into three categories: factors linked to the patient, those linked to the workstation and factors linked to an external intervention. A study published in 1992 evaluated a set of predictive factors for recovery one year after acute coronary syndrome and showed that the proportion of clinical factors accounted for 20%, functional factors for 27% but above all socio-economic factors for 45. %.

On the other hand, there are only a few studies that are interested in the return to work after acute coronary syndrome according to the management in occupational medicine, and in particular the realization or not of a pre-return visit.

The results of a survey published in 2016 show that the recommendations made during the return visit were significantly different depending on whether or not there was a pre-return visit and concerned all types of pathology.

In view of all of these elements, it seems important to the investigators to study the expected benefit of an early orientation towards occupational medicine via the pre-return visit, and to study the factors delaying or favoring the return to work. .
