It would be the same for > every data cell in the table and there are a lot. Difficult to say. If your <th> are repetive and long, I don't think it makes your table very easy to use. The long <th> would prefix data cell content in a screen reader. On the other hand, screen reader users are able to turn this behaviour off. If possible, I would use unique abbr attributes.
