Association between expectations for recovery and self-reported global recovery. Crude and adjusted hazard rate ratios (HRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
| Expectation at Baseline | Unadjusted HRR (95% CI) | Adjusted HRR (95% CI)* |
|---|---|---|
| Will never get better | 1.00 | 1.00 |
| Will get better soon | 5.26 (3.76–7.37) | 3.62 (2.55–5.13) |
| Will get better slowly | 3.18 (2.27–4.44) | 2.66 (1.88–3.75) |
| Don’t know | 2.05 (1.47–2.87) | 1.95 (1.38–2.76) |
↵* Adjusted for the following baseline confounders: post-injury depressive symptomatology (CES-D), post-injury self-reported health, post-injury neck pain intensity, and back pain intensity.
