I'm looking for published sources pertaining to work life expectancy for individuals classified based on disorders (cervical spine fusion; lumbar fusion; etc). Prefer to look at traumatic causes of disability and compare that to work life expectancy of individuals with non-traumatic causes of same disorders and non disabled work life expectancies. Stats broken down by disorder, age, gender, race, educational level, and occupation would be excellent. I appreciate any sources of valid information.
