Abstract:
The objective of the study was to evaluate an operational integrated care model (IC) aiming at optimized treatment of depression. It consisted of cooperation between a company and an external clinic with respect to early recognition of the disorder, early access to treatment and support for return to work.
Method:
A retrospective group comparison of patients with depression receiving IC in a psychiatric outpatient clinic (N=64) and a control group with standard care in the same clinic (N=64) was performed. Primary outcome was return to work.
Results:
Patients of the IC group returned to work significantly more often (Odds Ratio 11.9; p<0.001) and 91.2 days earlier (p=0.010) than those of the group that received standard care.
Conclusion:
Specific measures of an IC program might accelerate the process of return to work.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
