BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal injuries are the most common non-fatal injury from road traffic crashes. Even when the injuries are mild, they can cause pain which can affect return to work rates and work ability post-crash. Workplace output losses are the biggest cost from traffic crash-related injuries. There is a need to identify effective interventions that can improve work-related outcomes (e.g. time to return to work, sick leave, and work ability) in this group and a need to understand the intervention components, external factors, and participant characteristics that may be associated with improvement. METHODS A systematic review will be conducted using seven databases and search terms related to road traffic crash, musculoskeletal injury, work-related outcomes, and study design. Intervention studies will be eligible if they report on at least one work-related outcome, include adults with a traffic crash-related musculoskeletal injury (e.g. fracture or whiplash), include a comparison group, and are written in English. Interventions can be medical, therapeutic, work-based, multicomponent, or other. Two researchers will independently screen titles and abstracts, review full texts for inclusion in the review, and perform the data extraction. The main outcomes of the review will be time until return to work and duration of sick leave. The results will be narratively described, with meta-analyses conducted where possible. DISCUSSION This review will explore the effectiveness of interventions in individuals with traffic crash-related musculoskeletal injury on work-related outcomes and will act as a useful source for researchers, policy makers, and stakeholders when developing and implementing interventions in this group. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42018103746.

干预措施对道路交通事故后肌肉骨骼损伤患者工作相关结果的影响：系统评价方案。

背景技术肌肉骨骼损伤是道路交通事故中最常见的非致命性损伤。即使伤害很轻，也会引起疼痛，从而影响事故后重返工作岗位的速度和工作能力。工作场所产出损失是交通事故相关伤害造成的最大损失。需要确定有效的干预措施，以改善该群体中与工作相关的结果（例如返回工作的时间、病假和工作能力），并且需要了解可能会影响工作的干预措施、外部因素和参与者特征。与改进相关。方法 将使用七个数据库和与道路交通事故、肌肉骨骼损伤、工作相关结果和研究设计相关的搜索术语进行系统评价。如果干预研究报告至少一项与工作相关的结果，包括患有交通事故相关肌肉骨骼损伤（例如骨折或颈部扭伤）的成年人，包括对照组，并且以英语撰写，则该干预研究将符合资格。干预措施可以是医疗干预、治疗干预、基于工作的干预、多成分干预或其他干预。两名研究人员将独立筛选标题和摘要，审查全文以纳入审查，并进行数据提取。审查的主要结果将是重返工作岗位的时间和病假期限。将叙述性地描述结果，并在可能的情况下进行荟萃分析。讨论 本综述将探讨交通事故相关肌肉骨骼损伤患者的干预措施对工作相关结果的有效性，并将为研究人员、政策制定者和利益相关者在该群体中制定和实施干预措施时提供有用的资料。系统审查注册 PROSPERO CRD42018103746。
