Work Participation after Multimodal Rehabilitation due to Cancer: Representative Analyses using Routine Data of the German Pension Insurance
CONCLUSION: Two years after cancer rehabilitation, 5 to 6 out of 10 persons returned to stable work participation. Relevant influencing factors were the length of sick leave and wages prior to cancer rehabilitation. The results suggest inclusion of more work-related aspects in cancer rehabilitation and greater suppor, especially in the first year post-rehabilitation.PMID:38065547 | DOI:10.1055/a-2192-3476 (Source: Die Rehabilitation)

Rehabilitation for Post-COVID Syndrome covered by the German Pension Insurance in 2021
CONCLUSION: The importance of post-COVID-19 condition in the context of medical rehabilitation increased significantly over the course of 2021. The disease causes long periods of disability. With regard to performance, the available analyses give a positive picture; only 6.5% of those individuals undergoing rehabilitation were assessed as having a reduced capacity to earn of less than 3 hours on the general labor market.PMID:38056495 | DOI:10.1055/a-2192-1969 (Source: Die Rehabilitation)

The health consequences of returning to work after retirement: Evidence from a Japanese longitudinal survey
This study used data from men and women aged 50 and older (11,991 individuals) in the Longitudinal Survey of Middle-aged and Older Adults, conducted annually from 2005 to 2019 in Japan. The effects of three types of labor force transitions (continued work, full retirement, and return to work) on physical and mental health were examined. To obtain the causal effects, an instrumental variable approach was used by exploiting the Japanese pension reform and labor market settings as instruments. Compared with full retirement, returning to work showed significantly worse mental health but no significant difference in physical he...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 9430: Human Movement Recognition Based on 3D Point Cloud Spatiotemporal Information from Millimeter-Wave Radar
g Li Wang Human movement recognition is the use of perceptual technology to collect some of the limb or body movements presented. This practice involves the use of wireless signals, processing, and classification to identify some of the regular movements of the human body. It has a wide range of application prospects, including in intelligent pensions, remote health monitoring, and child supervision. Among the traditional human movement recognition methods, the widely used ones are video image-based recognition technology and Wi-Fi-based recognition technology. However, in some dim and imperfect weather environments,...

Contextual factors in persistent severe back pain: A longitudinal analysis among German employees
ConclusionsIn a high-risk subgroup with several co-existing conditions, this analysis highlights (mental) health, social and personal (contextual) factors associated with long-term unfavourable back pain progression.SignificanceBack pain is a condition that often has a chronic or recurrent course, threatening participation in many areas of life. In this study it was found that the unfavourable condition of severe back pain can remain stable for long periods of time in a significant proportion of sufferers. Contextual factors (self-efficacy, fear-avoidance beliefs, caregiving burden) as well as additional health problems sh...

Wanted: robust and rigorous scientific approach to provide accurate insights into the effects of IDT on patients' outcomes
The study by LoMartire et al.1 raises critical concerns related to the implications of interdisciplinary treatment (IDT) on sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP). We want to highlight two significant issues that have emerged from the analysis of the study. It is a continuation of an article from 20212. Both articles use data from the Swedish Quality Registry for Pain Rehabilitation (SQRP), which is designed to investigate the real-world evidence for IDT. Evidence from randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews, support that IDT is an effective treatment. (Source: The Journal of Pain)

The risk and development of work disability among individuals with gambling disorder: a longitudinal case-cohort study in Sweden
CONCLUSION: Individuals with GD have an increased risk of work disability which may add financial and social pressure and is an additional incentive for earlier detection and prevention of GD.PMID:37980927 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291723003288 (Source: Psychological Medicine)
