AB  - OBJECTIVE: Heart failure (HF) is a public health problem worldwide. Employment is 
      vital in terms of personal, social, and economic aspects for patients with 
      chronic diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate returning to work and 
      the associated factors after first hospitalization for HF in working- age 
      patients. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, patients with the first 
      hospitalization for HF in 2017-2020 who were employed before hospitalization were 
      included. The demographic, occupational, and disease-related variables were 
      compared in subjects with and without returning to work. Next, the relationship 
      between the variables and the number of days off work was examined in 
      participants who had returned to work. RESULTS: The data of 204 participants were 
      analyzed. About 90% of the participants returned to work after one year. There 
      was a significant relationship between not returning to work and higher age, 
      female sex, higher New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, Ejection fraction 
      (EF) </= 40%, and history of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among the participants 
      who had returned to work, income level, cause of work exit, employer support, and 
      the number of rehabilitation sessions had a significant relationship with the 
      number of days off work. CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that 
      gender, age, EF level, history of CKD, and NHYA class were the most influential 
      factors in returning to work after first HF hospitalization. Furthermore, income, 
      cause of work exit, employer support, and the number of rehabilitation sessions 
      were the most important factors contributing to the number of days off work.
