TL;DR
Total migraine-related work loss due to absenteeism and reduced workday equivalents accounts for most of the economic burden of migraine, regardless of country, in a clinic-based migraine population.
Abstract
The impact of migraine symptoms on healthcare resource utilisation and work loss was similar across most measures in Europe, Latin America, North America and other countries. Total migraine-related work loss due to absenteeism and reduced workday equivalents accounts for most of the economic burden of migraine, regardless of country, in a clinic-based migraine population.

Overall work productivity was significantly related to general health perceptions and the global measures of interference with regular activity, and the self-administered questionnaire had adequate reproducibility but less construct validity than interviewer administration.

The prevalence of migraine is approximately 6% among men and 15 to 17% among women, and the gender ratio also appears to vary by age, increasing from menarche to about age 42 years and declining thereafter.

Migraine headache is responsible for significantly more healthcare resource and lost labour costs than previously reported and the extrapolated costs to employers ranged from $US5.6 billion to $US17.2 billion dollars annually due to decreased productivity and missed work days.

Subjects with migraine headache were much more likely to report actual lost workdays because of headache, whereas tension-type and other headache types accounted for a large proportion of decreased work effectiveness because of headaches.

The study reveals that migraine prevalence varies according to age, gender, and income, and shows that most people with migraine have never been diagnosed by a doctor or treated with prescription medications.

The literature reviewed demonstrates that the economic burden of migraine headache is substantial and data are needed on incidence and prevalence among carefully selected samples representative of the underlying population to estimate the cost of migraine to society more precisely.
