These inflamm... Read More about Transient ischaemic attack in a patient with known temporal arteritis: a case report.

Testing a model of association between patient identified problems and responses to global measures of health in low back pain patients: a prospective study (2009)
Journal Article
(2009). Testing a model of association between patient identified problems and responses to global measures of health in low back pain patients: a prospective study. Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 74 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1477-7525-7-74

Self-rated health status has been shown to be related to physical function. Therefore, changes in functional ability should be associated with changes in general health. However, functional needs may vary greatly between individuals. The purpose of t...
