  1. Logistic regression analyses. The dependent variable was RTW; an odds ratio (OR) for RTW of >1 indicates a higher probability of successful RTW
  2. aN varies between 128 and 164 due to missing cases
  3. bHigher score
  4. cThese variables were included in a backwards stepwise multivariable logistic regression analysis resulting in the final model for predicting RTW
