Musculoskeletal case-mix adjustment in a UK primary/community care cohort: Testing musculoskeletal models to make recommendations in this setting. (2021)
Journal Article

Benchmarking musculoskeletal (MSK) services is limited by the need to adjust for differences in patient characteristics/case-mix. Without this providers and services cannot be usefully compared. This paper investigates the predictive ability of case-...

Integrating clinician support with intervention design as part of a programme testing stratified care for musculoskeletal pain in general practice (2021)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Stratified care involves subgrouping patients based on key characteristics, e.g. prognostic risk, and matching these subgroups to early treatment options. The STarT-MSK programme developed and tested a new stratified primary care interven...
