  1. 1Long-term sick leave because of MSD or psychological impairments to well-being (e.g. burnout), pension for reduced work capacity or application for pension for reduced work capacity.
  2. aSensitivity, Pearson’s chi-square2: p-value <0.001.
  3. bSpecificity, Pearson’s chi-square2: p-value <0.001.
  4. LR+ = positive likelihood ratio.
  5. LR− = negative likelihood ratio.
