Summary: This study aimed to investigate the variables impacting the return to work following PCI in young and middle-aged patients with CHD in Wuxi. The results showed that gender, ejection fraction, job types, employment requiring both mental and physical capacity, fatigue levels, return to work self-efficacy, and social support were independent factors influencing patients' return to work at 3 months after PCI.

Summary: This study aimed to clarify the adaptability of cancer patients to return to work and explore its influencing factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 283 cancer patients in Nantong city, using a self-developed scale to measure adaptability. The results showed that participation in work, active coping strategies, family support, and high self-efficacy were associated with better adaptability to return to work among cancer patients.

Summary: This study evaluates the accuracy of predicting return-to-work one year after traumatic brain injury (TBI) using administrative data and explores the differences in model performance and feature importance between mild and moderate-to-severe TBI. The results show that the prediction models perform similarly regardless of TBI severity and that pre-injury employment is the most important feature for predicting return-to-work.

Summary: The study found that older age, receiving radiotherapy, higher income, medium company size, and advanced pathological staging were negatively correlated with return to work for patients with colorectal cancer. However, there was no significant association between employment and all-cause mortality. Further research should include participants from different countries, ethnic groups, and patients with other types of cancer.

Summary: Return-to-work is a crucial goal for stroke survivors, but current rehabilitation programs often overlook the management of mood and fatigue, despite their significant impact on return-to-work rates. This systematic review surveyed randomized controlled trials on return-to-work programs after stroke, finding that interventions addressing mood and fatigue had higher success rates compared to those that did not. The findings highlight the importance of including psychological support and fatigue management in stroke rehabilitation programs.

Summary: This study found that anxiety/depression and fatigue-related disabilities may influence stroke survivors' ability to return to paid work within 3 months after stroke. Higher stroke severity and hyperlipidemia were also associated with not returning to paid work at 3 months.

Summary: The study found that 82.4% of patients successfully returned to work after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) within 1 year, while 17.6% of patients did not. Hip symptoms were one of the main reasons why patients were unable to return to work.

Summary: The study found that advanced tumor stages were the main hindrance to returning to work within 3 months, while oral and larynx cancer posed difficulties for returning to work at 12 months; having a partner, white-collar job, and early tumor stages were identified as facilitators for returning to work.

Summary: Return to work after heart transplantation is influenced by factors such as education level, age, quality of life, physical fitness test results, and previous work experience. Particularly, patients near retirement age have a lower rate of returning to work.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of a health and employment support program on the return to work (RTW) rate in stroke patients. The results showed that stroke type, neurological findings, and activities of daily living were significant factors influencing RTW. The RTW rate exceeded 70% for left hemiplegia, right hemiplegia, and neuropsychological deficits.

Summary: The study found that the mean time to return to work for patients following a myocardial infarction ranged from 46-192 days, with about half of the participants resuming work within 3 months. Factors associated with return to work included being male, younger, educated, non-manual workers or business owners, evaluating general and mental health highly, shorter hospitalization, fewer comorbidities, complications, and mental health issues.

Summary: The individual's ability to influence the work situation, adjustments and flexibility at the workplace, psychosocial support and knowledge of stroke, as well as changed view of work and personal priorities, play important roles in return to work (RTW) and staying at work after stroke.

Summary: The study found that more than two-thirds of patients can return to work within 3 months after lumbar discectomy. Factors associated with returning to previous work include gender, education level, type of job, physical activity, smoking status, work agreement, working hours, income, pain intensity, perceived prognosis, among others.

Summary: Work limitations due to health problems can have negative impacts on employment stability and financial situations, especially for cancer survivors who are particularly vulnerable. Addressing the potential impact of treatment on employment and financial outcomes is important for survivors to navigate complex resources. Further research into cancer-related work outcomes is necessary.

Summary: This study aimed to document the rates and correlates of return to work, work productivity, and activity impairment among Chinese cancer survivors in Hong Kong at one year post-treatment. The results showed that physically demanding jobs and poorer physical functioning delayed return to work, and unmanaged physical symptom and psychological distress hindered work productivity.

Summary: Studies on stroke management and outcomes in Sweden have shown decreasing differences between men and women over time. Despite improvements in stroke care and outcomes, women still face more severe strokes and older age at the onset of stroke, leading to persisting disparities between genders.

Summary: This study investigates sex differences and longitudinal changes in ischemic stroke in the younger population. The results show that men have a higher incidence than women, and certain risk factors such as atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and smoking are more common in men. The incidence of ischemic stroke stabilizes and then decreases over time, but fluctuations are substantial due to its rarity in the younger population.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare data from the Swedish cleft lip and palate registry (CLP registry) among six treatment centers regarding surgery and speech outcomes at 5 years old. The results showed that at one center, more children underwent a higher number of surgeries and achieved poorer speech outcomes. It was also found that performing the last primary palatal surgery after 25 months of age increased the risk of negative speech results.

Summary: The study found that low education was associated with an increased risk of severe stroke, and almost one third of this association was explained by risk factors, while the indirect effect via stroke prevention drugs was negligible. This suggests that efforts to reduce risk factors are important in decreasing stroke severity among those with low socioeconomic status.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate and compare the risk of stroke recurrence in men and women, taking into account the competing risk of death. The findings showed that the risk of stroke recurrence has decreased in both men and women, but women's higher age and other risk factors contribute to their higher risk compared with men.

Summary: This study examined the characteristics of patients with in-hospital stroke (IHS) in Sweden, including the reason for hospitalization and invasive procedures before the stroke. The results showed that 5.4% of stroke cases occurred during hospitalization, and 46.7% of IHS patients had at least one invasive procedure prior to the stroke. The study suggests the need for further research on the absolute risks of stroke after surgical procedures and ways to reduce the risk.
