[Work Participation after Medical Rehabilitation of People with Musculoskeletal Diseases: Representative Analyses Using Routine Data of the German Pension Insurance].

We analyzed how people with musculoskeletal disorder who completed a rehabilitation program of the German Pension Insurance can be described before medical rehabilitation, how often work participation succeeds thereafter and which administratively available information is associated with work participation.We used the German Pension Insurance's rehabilitation statistics database. Patients with a musculoskeletal disorder who had completed medical rehabilitation in 2017 were included.

The Association between Tea Consumption and Bladder Cancer Risk Based on the Bladder Cancer Epidemiology and Nutritional Determinants (BLEND) International Consortium.

Objectives: Evidence regarding the association between tea consumption and bladder cancer (BC) risk is inconsistent. This study aimed to increase our knowledge of the association by using international data from the Bladder Cancer Epidemiology and Nutritional Determinants Consortium.

Methods: Individual data on 2,347 cases and 6,871 controls from 15 case-control studies with information on black, green, herbal, or general tea was pooled.

Non-inferiority of hybrid outpatient telerehabilitation for patients with back pain: 3-month follow-up of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: International studies identified comparable or better effects for telerehabilitation compared with face-to-face rehabilitation or no rehabilitation in people with back pain. In German rehabilitation centers, a standardized back school for patients with back pain is provided usually face-to-face as part of a multimodal rehabilitation program.

Aim: To examine the non-inferiority of a three-week, digitally assisted, multimodal rehabilitation that applies a digital version of a standardized back school (intervention group [IG]) against the same rehabilitation program applying the back school face-to-face (control group [CG]).

Non-inferiority of a hybrid outpatient rehabilitation: a randomized controlled trial (HIRE, DRKS00028770).

Background: Physiotherapeutic telerehabilitation in various musculoskeletal and internal diseases, including back pain, might be comparable to face-to-face rehabilitation or better than non-rehabilitation. In Germany, a standardized back school for patients with chronic back pain is provided in outpatient rehabilitation centers. The effectiveness of this standardized back school was shown in a randomized controlled trial in face-to-face rehabilitation.
