  3. ID = incidence density
  4. RD = recurrence density
  5. CI = confidence interval
  6. The table shows the age-distribution and the median duration (in days), ID and RD with their 95% CIs of sickness absence due to CMDs as well as the time-to-onset of recurrent sickness absence due to CMDs in months.
