Table 4 Logistic regression analyses to investigate whether changes in secondary outcome measures are associated with RTW^a

	Univariable associations				Multivariable associations
	OR	95% CI		p	OR	95% CI		p
Changes on secondary outcome measures		Lower	Higher			Lower	Higher
Improved CORE-OM total	1.06	0.99	1.14	0.099^c
Improved work ability	1.16	1.03	1.32	0.019^c
Improved generalized self-efficacy	0.99	0.47	2.09	0.981
Improved expectancy of future work ability (yes)^b	5.90	1.81	19.24	0.003^c	5.90	1.81	19.24	0.003

The dependent variable was RTW; an odds ratio (OR) for RTW of >1 indicates a higher probability of successful RTW
^aN varies between 121 and 164 due to missing cases
^bOn this variable, being a case indicates either a change from negative to positive expectancy of future workability, or a maintained positive expectancy of future workability
^cThese variables were included in a backwards stepwise multivariable logistic regression with p < 0.05 as cut-off for including independent variables in the final model. This resulted in a final model in which only improved expectancy of future work ability was statistically significant associated with RTW
