We read the den Bakker et al. 1 article with great interest. The study analysed two prediction models for return to work (RTW) with 1 year and 2 years after the start of sick leave as the outcomes. Here, we offer some discussion points regarding their conclusions.We agree with the authors’1-and 2-year RTW outcomes because the Netherlands’ social system guarantees that 70 per cent of employees’ wages are paid during the first 2 years of sick leave. Previous studies have reported that social support influenced RTW2, 3 and, therefore, a country’s social welfare system might strongly influence the results. We believe that this information would be very helpful for developing a study protocol and that bias could be minimized by setting a point in the outcome measure that considers the social system.
