P051 Trends in consultations for musculoskeletal pain in children and young people presenting to United Kingdom primary care: an electronic health record study (2024)
Presentation / Conference

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.

Prognosis of patients with neuropathic low back-related leg pain: An exploratory study using prospective data from UK primary care (2023)
Journal Article

This prospective cohort study investigates the prognosis of patients with neuropathic low back-related leg pain (LBLP) consulting in UK primary care. Data from 511 patients were collected using standardised baseline clinical examinations (including M...

Development and External Validation of Individualized Prediction Models for Pain Intensity Outcomes in Patients with Neck Pain, Low Back Pain, or both in Primary Care Settings (2023)
Journal Article

Objective The purpose of this study was to develop and externally validate multivariable prediction models for future pain intensity outcomes to inform targeted interventions for patients with neck or low back pain in primary care settings. Metho...

Stratified primary care for adults with musculoskeletal pain: the STarT MSK research programme including RCTs (2023)
Report

Background Usual primary care for patients with musculoskeletal pain varies widely and treatment outcomes are suboptimal. Stratified care involves targeting treatments according to patient subgroups, in the hope of maximising treatment benefit and re...

Symptom patterns and life with post-acute COVID-19 in children aged 8-17: a mixed methods studyprotocol. (2023)
Journal Article

Background: While there is a substantial body of knowledge about acute COVID-19, less is known about long-COVID, where symptoms continue beyond 4 weeks. Aim: To describe longer-term effects of COVID-19 infection in children and young people (CYP)...

Overall prognosis of acute and chronic musculoskeletal, widespread, and neuropathic pain in children and adolescents (2023)
Journal Article

Objectives This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (prognosis). The objectives are as follows: We aim to describe the overall prognosis (focusing on the pain course) and the negative impact(s) of acute and chronic musculoskeletal, widespread, an...

Comparison of healthcare utilisation, costs and health-related quality of life across the subgroups defined by the Keele STarT MSK Tool (2022)
Journal Article

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe and compare health economic outcomes (healthcare utilisation, costs, work outcomes and health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L)) in patients classified into different risk subgroups by the Keele STar...

Risk-based stratified primary care for common musculoskeletal pain presentations (STarT MSK): a cluster-randomised, controlled trial (2022)
Journal Article

Background Risk-based stratified care shows clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness versus usual primary care for non-specific low back pain but is untested for other common musculoskeletal disorders. We aimed to test the clinical effectiveness... Read More about Risk-based stratified primary care for common musculoskeletal pain presentations (STarT MSK): a cluster-randomised, controlled trial.

Stratifying workers on sick leave due to musculoskeletal pain: Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and construct validity of the Norwegian Keele STarT MSK tool (2022)
Journal Article

Objectives Stratified care using prognostic models to estimate the risk profiles of patients has been increasing. A refined version of the popular STarT Back tool, the Keele STarT MSK tool, is a newly developed model for matched treatment across a wi...

Chronic widespread pain in children and adolescents presenting in primary care: prevalence and associated risk factors (2021)
Journal Article

A significant proportion of children/adolescents report chronic widespread pain (CWP), but little is known about clinically relevant CWP or what factors lead to onset in this population. Objectives were to report the primary care consultation prevale...

Chronic widespread pain in children and adolescents presenting in primary care: prevalence and associated risk factors (2021)
Journal Article

A significant proportion of children/adolescents report Chronic Widespread Pain (CWP), but little is known about clinically relevant CWP or what factors lead to onset in this population. Objectives were to report the primary care consultation prevale...

Estimating the population health burden of musculoskeletal conditions using primary care electronic health records (2021)
Journal Article

Objectives Better indicators from affordable, sustainable data sources are needed to monitor population burden of musculoskeletal conditions. We propose five indicators of musculoskeletal health and assessed if routinely available primary care elect...
