Objective. To determine the most effective rehabilitation approach for returning to work according to the percentage of loss of earning capacity. Methods. It used a secondary information source (insurance company database named Positiva) and univariate, bivariate and Kaplan-Meier analyzes were applied to the 75 records that met the inclusion criteria. Results. They showed that there are no statistically signifcant differences between the time elapsed between "the occurrence of the event and the start of rehabilitation"; nor in between "the beginning of rehabilitation and the end of rehabilitation"; nor between “the end of rehabilitation and the discharge for return to work” in the physical, occupational and comprehensive approaches. Conclusion. This research suggests eliminating administrative delays and to legislatethat the work of rehabilitators be carried out jointly with those ...

Objective. To estimate the burden of disease due to chemical substances in Cali (Colombia). Methods. Secondary analysis was performed based on thedatabases on morbidity and mortality due to poisoning by chemical substances of the District Secretary of Health of Cali (Colombia), occurring during the period from 2018 to 2020. The standard methodology was used to estimate disabilityadjusted life years (DALYs) and the Poisson distribution to estimate the gaps. Results. During the period studied, men lost 1701 healthy life-years due to chemical poisonings, and women lost 895 years. The gap was OR 2.2 (2.0 - 2.4), higher in men than in women. Conclusions. There was a 14.5% increase in morbidity from chemical poisonings before the onset of the pandemic and a 53.9% reduction during the pandemic year by  COVID-19.
