We compared the process of RTW in people who were sick-listed due to WAD to the process of RTW in those who were sick-listed because of other musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
RTW is defined as: duration from the first day of reporting sick until actual first RTW in any type of paid work or work resumption with ongoing benefits.
To investigate predictors of return to work (RTW) in a poststroke sample.
Finally, weight reduction might improve RTW in patients with radiculopathy.
Current evidence on factors promoting RTW in musculoskeletal and mental disorders will be reviewed and discussed.
The women did not report that they felt more ready for RTW in due course.
OR for RTW in the WAD group was 0.29 (0.18–0.49) compared to the MSD group.
The low level of RTW in our cohort is primarily explained by differences in the populations.
They reported that workers in the intervention were significantly more likely to RTW in good health.
According to literature, age is important to RTW in both mental and physical health conditions [ 13].
Work capacity regarding knowledge, mental, collaborative and physical demands predicted RTW in our study.
