A prospective study of patients with chronic low-back pain was made to determine the significance of the patient's own prediction of the outcome of a vocational rehabilitation program. Fifty-two patients were screened, and their work situation determined one and 4 years after the rehabilitation program was started. The patients predicted the outcome correctly in 69%, with a sensitivity of 68% and a specificity of 71%. A statistically significant correlation was found between the patient's prediction and the recommendations given by the rehabilitation unit.
对慢性腰痛患者进行了一项前瞻性研究，以确定患者自身对职业康复计划结果预测的重要性。筛选了52名患者，并在康复计划开始后的1年和4年确定了他们的工作状况。患者正确预测结果的比例为69%，敏感性为68%，特异性为71%。发现患者的预测与康复单位给出的建议之间存在统计学上的显著相关性。
