Rehabilitation timing and duration varied by administrative origin in Yancheng occupational injury patients.

This retrospective cohort study included workers with occupational injuries who received rehabilitation treatment at a designated occupational rehabilitation hospital in Yancheng, China. The sample size was not reported, and the follow-up duration was not reported.

The intervention or exposure assessed was the timing of rehabilitation initiation and rehabilitation duration. The primary outcomes evaluated were the timing of rehabilitation initiation and the duration of rehabilitation. No statistically significant differences were observed concerning sex, age group, injury site, surgical status, or rehabilitation costs for either outcome (p > 0.05). However, a statistically significant difference was observed concerning the administrative origin of injury certification for the timing of rehabilitation initiation (p < 0.05).

Safety data, including adverse events, serious adverse events, discontinuations, and tolerability, were not reported. The study limitations are not explicitly detailed in the provided data, and causality was not reported.

These results provide valuable insights to support the development of China's occupational rehabilitation service system.
