The impact of inadequate health literacy in a musculoskeletal pain population (2018)
Journal Article
Lacey, R., Campbell, P., Lewis, M., & Protheroe, J. (2018). The impact of inadequate health literacy in a musculoskeletal pain population. https://doi.org/10.3928/24748307-20181101-01

Musculoskeletal conditions are a major cause of ill-health and disability. Inadequate health literacy may partly explain why musculoskeletal self-management programmes are not effective for some patients. This study prospectively evaluates the impact...

Uptake of the NICE osteoarthritis guidelines in primary care: a survey of older adults with joint pain (2018)
Journal Article
Healey, E. L., Afolabi, E. K., Lewis, M., Edwards, J. J., Jordan, K. P., Finney, A., …Dziedzic, K. S. (2018). Uptake of the NICE osteoarthritis guidelines in primary care: a survey of older adults with joint pain. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 19, Article 295. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-018-2196-2

Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of pain and disability. NICE OA guidelines (2008) recommend that patients with OA should be offered core treatments in primary care. Assessments of OA management have identified a need to improve pri... Read More about Uptake of the NICE osteoarthritis guidelines in primary care: a survey of older adults with joint pain.

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 19, Article 218. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-018-2153-0

BACKGROUND: Evidence on the effectiveness of intra-articular corticosteroid injection for hip osteoarthritis is limited and conflicting. The primary objective of the Hip Injection Trial (HIT) is to compare pain intensity over 6 months, in people with...

Optimal primary care management of clinical osteoarthritis and joint pain in older people: a mixed-methods programme of systematic reviews, observational and qualitative studies, and randomised controlled trials (2018)
Report
Hay, E., Dziedzic, K., Foster, N., Peat, G., van der Windt, D., Bartlam, B., …Croft, P. (2018). Optimal primary care management of clinical osteoarthritis and joint pain in older people: a mixed-methods programme of systematic reviews, observational and qualitative studies, and randomised controlled trials. NIHR. PGfAR as project number RP-PG-0407-10386. Secretary of State for Health and Social Care

Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common long-term condition managed in UK general practice. However, care is suboptimal despite evidence that primary care and community-based interventions can reduce OA pain and disability. Objectives Th...
