Yes, they can. 1) It is a fact--and true facts may be discussed among people or on reviews except if specifically barred by law, and no law bars mentioning that you were on leave or including it as part of your review; and 2) it is material or relevant to your review--being out on leave, you had less time to do work or accomplish things than employees who did not take leave.
