Saunders, B., Burton, C., van der Windt, D. A., Myers, H., Chester, R., Pincus, T., & Wynne-Jones, G. (2023). Patients' and clinicians' perspectives towards primary care consultations for shoulder pain: qualitative findings from the Prognostic and Diagnostic Assessment of the Shoulder (PANDA-S) programme. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 24, Article 1. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-022-06059-1

BACKGROUND: Clinical management of musculoskeletal shoulder pain can be challenging due to diagnostic uncertainty, variable prognosis and limited evidence for long-term treatment benefits. The UK-based PANDA-S programme (Prognostic And Diagnostic Ass...

BMJ Open, 11(9), Article e052758. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2021-052758

INTRODUCTION: People presenting with shoulder pain considered to be of musculoskeletal origin is common in primary care but diagnosing the cause of the pain is contentious, leading to uncertainty in management. To inform optimal primary care for pati... Read More about Predicting pain and function outcomes in people consulting with shoulder pain: the PANDA-S clinical cohort and qualitative study protocol.

Determining sample size for progression criteria for pragmatic pilot RCTs: the hypothesis test strikes back! (2021)
Journal Article
Lewis, M., Bromley, K., Sutton, C., McCray, G., Myers, H., & Lancaster, G. (2021). Determining sample size for progression criteria for pragmatic pilot RCTs: the hypothesis test strikes back!. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 7, Article 40. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-021-00770-x

BACKGROUND: The current CONSORT guidelines for reporting pilot trials do not recommend hypothesis testing of clinical outcomes on the basis that a pilot trial is under-powered to detect such differences and this is the aim of the main trial. It state... Read More about Determining sample size for progression criteria for pragmatic pilot RCTs: the hypothesis test strikes back!.
