Mason, K. J., Jordan, K. P., Bailey, J., Jöud, A., Jowett, S., Protheroe, J., …Dunn, K. M. (2024, April). P051 Trends in consultations for musculoskeletal pain in children and young people presenting to United Kingdom primary care: an electronic health record study. Poster presented at British Society for Rheumatology Annual Conference 2024

Background/Aims Musculoskeletal pain in childhood increases the risk of such pain in adulthood but there is an absence of management guidance for this group, not helped by a lack of evidence on the extent and nature of pain in children. The aim was t... Read More about P051 Trends in consultations for musculoskeletal pain in children and young people presenting to United Kingdom primary care: an electronic health record study.
