Psychiatric consultations (OR 13.70, P &amp;lt; .001), legal disputes (OR 8.20, P &amp;lt; .001) and more than 5 months of waiting time for physiotherapy (OR 3.89, P = .002) were the strongest among the numerous risk factors for non-RTW. An increase in one visit to the general outpatient clinic and the presence of legal disputes had lengthened the time to RTW by 4.8 days (P &amp;lt; .001) and 18.0 months (P &amp;lt; .001), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Several demographic, psychosocial and administrative factors were negatively associated with RTW in the local population.
