The impact of health worker absenteeism on patient health care seeking behavior, testing and treatment: A longitudinal analysis in Uganda.

At the margin of statistical significance, absenteeism at the household’s normal health facility reduced the odds of using that facility by 28% [odds ratio (OR) = 0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.48–1.06] and reduced the odds of receiving any facility-based care for the illness by 23% [OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.56–1.05] ( Table 3 Panel A and Fig 1 ).
