UNASSIGNED: Accumulating evidence suggests an association between @entity1 pretreatment expectations and numerous health outcomes. However, it remains unclear if and how expectations relate to outcomes following treatments in @entity158 programs. The present study aims at investigating the predictive association between expectations and clinical outcomes in a large database of @entity1118 @entity1 . In this observational cohort study, @entity1 were 2272 @entity1 treated in one of three university-affiliated @entity158 treatment centers. All @entity1 received personalized care including medical, psychological and/or physical interventions. @entity1 expectations regarding @entity158 relief and improvements in quality of life and functioning were measured prior to the first visit to the @entity158 centers and served as predictor variables. Changes in @entity158 intensity, depressive symptoms, @entity158 interference and tendency to catastrophize, as well as satisfaction with @entity158 treatment and global impressions of change at 6-month follow-up were considered as treatment outcomes. Structural equation modeling analyses showed significant positive relationships between expectations and most clinical outcomes, and this association was largely mediated by @entity1 ' global impressions of change. Similar patterns of relationships between variables were also observed in various subgroups of @entity1 based on sex, age, @entity158 duration, and @entity158 classification. Such results emphasize the relevance of @entity1 expectations as a determinant of outcomes in multimodal @entity158 treatment programs. Further, the results suggest that superior clinical outcomes are observed in individuals who expect high positive outcomes as a result of treatment.
