Purpose: The particular relevance of mental disorders for society and the economy is highlighted in the context of work participation. Based on representative routine data from the pension insurance from 2017, the aim of the study was to describe a group of psychosomatic rehabilitation patients recruited on the basis of selected characteristics, examine the return to work (RTW) rates, to assess individual progression after rehabilitation and to identify possible influencing factors.
Methods: Work participation was operationalized both as a monthly state up to 24 months after rehabilitation and as a rate of all people who were employed 12 or 24 months and the 3 preceding months (stable work participation).

Article Synopsis
- - The SYNCHRONOUS-study assessed the impact of combining ASV-ablation with GSV treatment during endovenous laser ablation to prevent varicose vein recurrence while analyzing complication rates.
- - Out of 1173 patients, 604 received only GSV-ablation, while 569 also had ASV-ablation, with complications monitored over a 6-month period.
- - Results showed about 80% of patients had no complications, and ASV-ablation did not lead to higher complication rates compared to just GSV treatment, indicating it's a safe option.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored how post-interventional compression therapy affects patients' recovery after endovenous laser ablation for varicose veins.
- The findings showed that using compression therapy significantly alleviated symptoms and improved quality of life compared to no therapy, especially when applied for up to 14 days.
- High compliance among patients was noted, but those who didn't follow the therapy guidelines had worse symptoms and disease severity.
Purpose: Cancer diseases are associated with multiple physical, psychosocial, and occupational burdens that jeopardize work participation and must be specifically addressed with rehabilitative interventions. This study addressed the following questions regarding cancer patients whose rehabilitation was covered by German Pension Insurance (GPI): (a) What socio-medical risks existed prior to rehabilitation, (b) how well persons were able to return to work after rehabilitation, and (c) what conditions determined work participation?
Methods: We used the rehabilitation statistics database of the German Pension Insurance and included patients with completed medical rehabilitation due to cancer in 2017. Analyses were carried out for the entire group as well as for those differentiated according to their tumor sites (breast, prostate, colon and lung).
Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases represent a large proportion of the disease burden of the adult population in Germany. Their importance in rehabilitation has increased continuously in recent years. Several studies have investigated return to work of cardiac patients after rehabilitation, which is relevant from the perspective of pension insurance.
