PLoS Medicine, e1002273 -?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002273

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate whether prompting general practitioners (GPs) to routinely assess and manage anxiety and depression in patients consulting with osteoarthritis (OA) improves pain outcomes. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We conducted a...

The Estimation and Inclusion of Presenteeism Costs in Applied Economic Evaluation: A Systematic Review. (2017)
Journal Article
Lewis. (2017). The Estimation and Inclusion of Presenteeism Costs in Applied Economic Evaluation: A Systematic Review. Value in Health, 496 - 506. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jval.2016.12.006

OBJECTIVE: Given the significant costs of reduced productivity (presenteeism) in comparison to absenteeism, and overall societal costs, presenteeism has a potentially important role to play in economic evaluations. However, these costs are often excl... Read More about The Estimation and Inclusion of Presenteeism Costs in Applied Economic Evaluation: A Systematic Review..

Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 2, Article 72. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-016-0107-6

Background
Low back pain (LBP) and pelvic girdle pain (PGP) during pregnancy are common and often accepted as a ‘normal’ part of pregnancy. Many women receive little in the way of treatment, and yet pain interferes with sleep, daily activities and w...

Characteristics of patients with low back and leg pain seeking treatment in primary care: baseline results from the ATLAS cohort study. (2016)
Journal Article
Konstantinou, K., Dunn, K., Ogollah, R., Vogel, S., & Hay, E. (2016). Characteristics of patients with low back and leg pain seeking treatment in primary care: baseline results from the ATLAS cohort study. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 332. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-015-0787-8

Background
Patients with back pain radiating to the leg(s) report worse symptoms and poorer recovery than those with back pain alone. Robust evidence regarding their epidemiological profile is lacking from primary care, the setting where most of the...

Does a modified STarT Back Tool predict outcome with a broader group of musculoskeletal patients than back pain? A secondary analysis of cohort data. (2016)
Journal Article
Hill, J., Afolabi, E. K., Lewis, M., Dunn, K., Roddy, E., Van Der Windt, D., & Foster, N. E. (2016). Does a modified STarT Back Tool predict outcome with a broader group of musculoskeletal patients than back pain? A secondary analysis of cohort data. BMJ Open, e012445 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2016-012445

OBJECTIVES: The STarT Back Tool has good predictive performance for non-specific low back pain in primary care. We therefore aimed to investigate whether a modified STarT Back Tool predicted outcome with a broader group of musculoskeletal patients, a...

Journal of Pain Research, 2016(9), 807 -818. https://doi.org/10.2147/JPR.S116614

Musculoskeletal conditions represent a considerable burden worldwide, and are predominantly managed in primary care. Evidence suggests that many musculoskeletal conditions share similar prognostic factors. Systematically assessing patient’s prognosis...
