New insight to the characteristics and clinical course of clusters of patients with imaging confirmed disc-related sciatica. (2019)
Journal Article
Stynes. (2019). New insight to the characteristics and clinical course of clusters of patients with imaging confirmed disc-related sciatica. European Journal of Pain, https://doi.org/10.1002/ejp.1475

BACKGROUND: Referral to secondary care is common for a considerable proportion of patients with persistent sciatica symptoms. It is unclear if information from clinical assessment can further identify distinct subgroups of disc-related sciatica, with...

Journal Article
Sze, J. T., Packham, J. C., Konstantinou, K., Blagojevic-Bucknall, M., & Stynes, S. (2019). 252 The prevalence of axial involvement in psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Rheumatology, 58(Supplement_3), https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/kez107.068

Background: A significant proportion of patients with psoriasis (PsO) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have axial involvement which is associated with more severe peripheral arthritis in PsA. Historically, methods for recognition of axial involvement in... Read More about 252 The prevalence of axial involvement in psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Determining one-year trajectories of low back related leg pain in primary care patients: growth mixture modelling of a prospective cohort study (2018)
Journal Article
Dunn, & Stynes. (2018). Determining one-year trajectories of low back related leg pain in primary care patients: growth mixture modelling of a prospective cohort study. Arthritis Care and Research, 1840-1848. https://doi.org/10.1002/acr.23556

OBJECTIVE The clinical presentation and outcome of patients with back and leg pain in primary care are heterogeneous and may be better understood by identification of homogeneous and clinically meaningful subgroups. Subgroups of patients with differ... Read More about Determining one-year trajectories of low back related leg pain in primary care patients: growth mixture modelling of a prospective cohort study.

Factors associated with physiotherapists' preference for MRI in primary care patients with low back and leg pain (2018)
Journal Article
Ely, S., Stynes, S., Ogollah, R., Foster, N. E., & Konstantinou, K. (2018). Factors associated with physiotherapists' preference for MRI in primary care patients with low back and leg pain. Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 38, 46-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msksp.2018.09.003

Background Criticisms about overuse of MRI in low back pain are well documented. Yet, with the exception of suspicion of serious pathology, little is known about factors that influence clinicians' preference for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at f...

Clinical diagnostic model for sciatica developed in primary care patients with low back-related leg pain (2018)
Journal Article
Stynes, S., Konstantinou, K., Ogollah, R., Hay, E., & Dunn, K. (2018). Clinical diagnostic model for sciatica developed in primary care patients with low back-related leg pain. PloS one, 1 -14. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0191852

Background Identification of sciatica may assist timely management but can be challenging in clinical practice. Diagnostic models to identify sciatica have mainly been developed in secondary care settings with conflicting reference standard selection...

Novel approach to characterising individuals with low back-related leg pain: cluster identification with latent class analysis and 12-month follow-up. (2018)
Journal Article
Stynes, S., Konstantinou, K., Ogollah, R., Hay, E. M., & Dunn, K. M. (2018). Novel approach to characterising individuals with low back-related leg pain: cluster identification with latent class analysis and 12-month follow-up. PAIN, 159(4), https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001147

Traditionally, low back-related leg pain (LBLP) is diagnosed clinically as referred leg pain or sciatica (nerve root involvement). However, within the spectrum of LBLP, we hypothesised that there may be other unrecognised patient subgroups. This stud...

Journal of Pain, 1295-1312. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpain.2017.04.012

This systematic review synthesizes literature describing prevalence, characteristics and prognosis of low back-related leg pain (LBLP) patients with neuropathic pain in primary care and/or similar settings. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were devel...

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...
