Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wathall, S., Foster, N., Hill, J., Konstantinou, K., Lawton, S., & Muller, S. (2019, October). Health informatics (HI) innovations in randomised trials and clinical cohorts - Identification, screening, stratified care and data collection during primary care consultations. Paper presented at 5th International Clinical Trials Methodology Conference (ICTMC 2019), Brighton, England, UK

Introduction: Recruitment and retention of participants remain the main challenges for clinical research, particularly for primary care studies undertaken at point-of-care where consultation time is pressured. The Health Informatics (HI) team at Keel...

PPatients' and general practitioners' views and experiences of stratified primary care for patients with musculoskeletal pain: qualitative findings from the STarT MSK feasibility and pilot trial. (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Saunders, B., Hill, J., Foster, N., Cooper, V., Protheroe, J., Chudyk, A., Chew-Graham, C., Campbell, P., & Bartlam, B. (2019, September). PPatients' and general practitioners' views and experiences of stratified primary care for patients with musculoskeletal pain: qualitative findings from the STarT MSK feasibility and pilot trial. Presented at The Society for Back Pain Research (SBPR) Annual General Meeting 2019, ‘From Bench to Bedside’, Sheffield, England

Background
Improving primary care management of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a priority. A pilot cluster RCT tested prognostic stratified care for patients with common MSK pain presentations, including low back pain, in 8 UK general practices (4 st...

Predictors of Functional Outcome in Musculoskeletal Healthcare: An Umbrella Review (2019)
Journal Article
Burgess, R., Mansell, G., Bishop, A., Lewis, M., & Hill, J. (2019). Predictors of Functional Outcome in Musculoskeletal Healthcare: An Umbrella Review. European Journal of Pain, 24(1), 51-70. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejp.1483

BACKGROUND
Multiple cohort and systematic review studies exist, reporting independent predictive factors associated with outcome in musculoskeletal populations. These studies have found evidence for a number of 'generic' factors that have been shown... Read More about Predictors of Functional Outcome in Musculoskeletal Healthcare: An Umbrella Review.

Subgrouping patients with sciatica in primary care for matched care pathways: development of a subgrouping algorithm (2019)
Journal Article
Konstantinou, K., Dunn, K., Windt, D., Ogollah, R., Jasani, V., & Foster, N. (2019). Subgrouping patients with sciatica in primary care for matched care pathways: development of a subgrouping algorithm. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-019-2686-x

Background
Sciatica is a painful condition managed by a stepped care approach for most patients. Currently, there are no decision-making tools to guide matching care pathways for patients with sciatica without evidence of serious pathology, early in...

Models used for case-mix adjustment of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in musculoskeletal healthcare: A systematic review of the literature. (2019)
Journal Article
Lewis, M., & Hill, J. (2019). Models used for case-mix adjustment of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in musculoskeletal healthcare: A systematic review of the literature. Physiotherapy, 137-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2018.10.002

BACKGROUND:
Case-mix adjustment is an established method to take account of variations across cohorts in baseline patient factors, when comparing health outcomes. Although commonplace, there is a lack of evidence as to the most appropriate case-mix...
