Evaluating clinical practice guidelines based on their association with return to work in administrative claims data.
The researchers examined the association between non-adherence to clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and time to return to work (RTW) for patients with workplace injuries. They found that early receipt of care and getting less than the recommended amount of care were correlated with faster RTW, while excessive physical therapy, bracing, and injections were associated with slower RTW. They recommended that CPGs supported by observational studies or randomized trials may have a more certain relationship to health outcomes.
