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.

Increased risk of reproductive dysfunction in women prescribed long-term opioids for musculoskeletal pain: a matched cohort study in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. (2018)
Journal Article
Dunn. (2018). Increased risk of reproductive dysfunction in women prescribed long-term opioids for musculoskeletal pain: a matched cohort study in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. European Journal of Pain, 1701-1708. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejp.1256

BACKGROUND: One fifth of primary care attendees suffer chronic non-cancer pain, with musculoskeletal conditions the leading cause. 12% of patients with chronic non-cancer pain are prescribed strong opioids. Evidence suggests long-term opioid use is r...

Child and adolescent musculoskeletal pain (CAM-Pain) feasibility study: testing a method of identifying, recruiting and collecting data from children and adolescents who consult about a musculoskeletal condition in UK general practice (2018)
Journal Article
Michaleff, Z., Campbell, P., Hay, A., Warburton, L., & Dunn, K. (2018). Child and adolescent musculoskeletal pain (CAM-Pain) feasibility study: testing a method of identifying, recruiting and collecting data from children and adolescents who consult about a musculoskeletal condition in UK general practice. BMJ Open, e021116 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2017-021116

OBJECTIVES Test a method of identifying, recruiting and collecting data from children and adolescents who consult their general practitioner about a musculoskeletal condition. DESIGN Prospective cohort feasibility study. SETTING 13 general...

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...

Epidemiology of paediatric presentations with musculoskeletal problems in primary care. (2018)
Journal Article
Protheroe, & Dunn. (2018). Epidemiology of paediatric presentations with musculoskeletal problems in primary care. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 40 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-018-1952-7

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disease is a common cause of morbidity, but there is a paucity of musculoskeletal research focusing on paediatric populations, particularly in primary care settings. In particular, there is limited information on populatio... Read More about Epidemiology of paediatric presentations with musculoskeletal problems in primary care..

Trajectories and predictors of the long-term course of low back pain: cohort study with 5-year follow-up (2018)
Journal Article
Jordan, K., Dunn, K., Strauss, V., Foster, N., Chen, Y., & Campbell, P. (2018). Trajectories and predictors of the long-term course of low back pain: cohort study with 5-year follow-up. PAIN, 252-260. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001097

Low back pain (LBP) is a major health challenge globally. Research has identified common trajectories of pain over time. We aimed to investigate whether trajectories described in one primary care cohort can be confirmed in another, and to determine t...

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...
