: Ethics approvals were obtained for both <scp>self</scp>BACK and Back-UP before the collection of data. Approval for the <scp>self</scp>BACK trial was obtained from the Regional Ethics Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics in Denmark (S-20182000-24) and Norway (2018/791). Approval from the data protection agency was obtained for Denmark (18/17955) through the University of Southern Denmark. For the Back-UP trial, approval was obtained from the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics in Central Norway (Ref. 2019/64084). All participants provided written informed consent that their data collected as part of the trial can be used in research. No formal ethical approval was required for data collected by Roessingh Center of Rehabilitation since according to the Dutch law (Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act), the nature of this research did not require formal medical ethical approval. Access to the data was granted by an employee of the Roessingh Center of Rehabilitation who is responsible for managing the dataset, with the verbal agreement of not sharing the data with anyone else. At the beginning of the questionnaire, patients were asked whether they agreed to the use of their data for research purposes (informed consent), where they had to tick a checkbox if they agreed.
