Rehabilitation outcome at follow-up was defined by patient's outcome rating, frequency of physical complaints, number of sickness reports during the time of follow-up, and use of tranquillizers or analgesics. To predict outcome, variables recorded at the beginning of the treatment were used in multiple stepwise regression analyses: medical data (ergometric performance, physiological measures), psychological data (emotional lability, frequency of physical complaints, mood) socioeconomic data, and living habits. Substantial differences in the prediction of outcome variables were observed ranging from 29% of the explained variance (number of sickn... |
