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

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...
