Abstract
Introduction Low back pain (LBP) is characterized with enormous costs originating from e.g. work absenteeism (1). This study examined the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary intervention, with or without additional workplace intervention (WPI), in improving pain, functionality and return to work in employed (sub)acute LBP sufferers. Methods A comprehensive search in six electronic databases was performed. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2-tool and the ROBIS-tool. A level of evidence (LoE) and conclusion was determined according to the Dutch EBRO checklist. Results Twelve studies were included (one A1, seven A2, four B LoE studies). A multidisciplinary intervention has beneficial effects on pain intensity and functionality compared to usual care. Contradictory results exist when compared with another intervention or an additional WPI. Regarding work-related outcomes conflicting results were found when a multidisciplinary intervention was compared to usual care, and no superior effects were found in comparison to other types of interventions. Adding a WPI to usual care might result in earlier work resumption. Discussion A multidisciplinary intervention has favorable effects compared with usual care on pain and functionality. An additional WPI on top of usual care might be beneficial for RTW.

Low back pain (LBP) is characterized with enormous costs originating from e.g. work absenteeism (1). This study examined the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary intervention, with or without additional workplace intervention (WPI), in improving pain, functionality and return to work in employed (sub)acute LBP sufferers.

Methods
A comprehensive search in six electronic databases was performed. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2-tool and the ROBIS-tool. A level of evidence (LoE) and conclusion was determined according to the Dutch EBRO checklist. 

Results
Twelve studies were included (one A1, seven A2, four B LoE studies). A multidisciplinary intervention has beneficial effects on pain intensity and functionality compared to usual care. Contradictory results exist when compared with another intervention or an additional WPI. Regarding work-related outcomes conflicting results were found when a multidisciplinary intervention was compared to usual care, and no superior effects were found in comparison to other types of interventions. Adding a WPI to usual care might result in earlier work resumption.

Discussion
A multidisciplinary intervention has favorable effects compared with usual care on pain and functionality. An additional WPI on top of usual care might be beneficial for RTW.}},
