“…Another limitation of the study is the fact that the patients were evaluated by different raters, which could result in inter-rater bias..Our study focused on only 3 out of 11 special hospitals for medical rehabilitation in Croatia selected based on their location at the coast, ie, in the region with beneficial climate. Those hospitals would be good candidates for medical tourism, which could improve their profile and would give them a marketing advantage (37)(38)(39)(40). However, as this choice could have introduced a selection bias, our data should be generalized with due caution.…”

“…Sólo un estudio informó de mejoras también en dolor y estado anímico (Cedraschi et al, 2004). De los cuatro estudios que incluyeron una fase de seguimiento Cedraschi et al, 2004;Zijlstra et al, 2005;Hammond y Freeman, 2006) tres estudios determinaron unos efectos a largo plazo en dolor e incapacidad (Cedraschi et al, 2004;Zijlstra et al, 2005;Hammond y Freeman, 2006), y el otro también en el estado anímico (Cedraschi et al, 2004).
