^aThe returned to original work group and the reemployed group were integrated into a single return to work group
^bThe comparisons among the non return to work group and the returned to original work group and reemployed group were conducted separately
^cThe statistical estimations based on the binomial and multinomial multivariate logistic regression analyses were adjusted for all covariates, except for the explanatory variable of interest
