title: [Implementation of Work-Related Medical Rehabilitation: A Propensity Score Matched Comparison of Two Cohorts from 2012 and 2014].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We examined if the work-related treatment dose has changed in 2014 than compared to 2012, if the work-related treatment dose differed between common medical rehabilitation (MR) and work-related medical rehabilitation (WMR), and if the therapy recommendations for WMR were met in Northern Germany rehabilitation centres in 2014.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients who were treated in WMR or conventional medical rehabilitation in 2014 were matched with patients treated in 2012 by using propensity scores.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Patients who were treated in WMR in 2014 received more work-related interventions than comparable patients in 2012 (13.5 vs. 2.5 h) and MR patients in 2014 (13.5 vs. 1.2 h). 30 min of social counselling, 180 min of work-related psychological groups and 360 min of work-related functional capacity training were realised for 93.8, 82 and 41% of the patients participating in WMR in 2014 CONCLUSION: WMR programs in Northern Germany meet the recommendations of the WMR guideline.
