Substantial increases in pulmonary complication risk occurred with increasing ASA class greater than II.

“A long career gap can sometimes make it difficult to re-enter the workforce, especially in areas with rapidly changing technological advancements,” said Stephen Dwyer, president of the ASA. Microretirees may also lose out on retirement contributions and income they would have received had they chosen to stay in the workforce, he added.

And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
