The primary aim of the Back@Home study is to assess the effectiveness of a virtual hospital model of care to reduce the length of admission in people presenting to ED with musculoskeletal LBP. A secondary aim is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the [...]

A content analysis of the interventions for low back pain promoted on the websites of Australian pain clinics – Chris G. Maher et al.

The Internet is a widely used source of health information, yet the accuracy of online information can be low. This is the case for low back pain (LBP), where much of the information about LBP treatment is poor. This research conducted a content analysis to [...]

Perceptions and experiences of paramedics managing people with non-traumatic low back pain: a qualitative study of Australian paramedics – Simon P Vella et al.

Internationally, non-traumatic low back pain (LBP) is an increasingly common presentation to ambulance services. Consequently, paramedics are often the first providers of care for people with LBP. Australian guidelines for paramedic management of LBP recommend the use of simple analgesia, hot/cold therapy and for people [...]

RECITAL: a non-inferiority randomised control trial evaluating a virtual fracture clinic compared with in-person care for people with simple fractures (study protocol) – Min Jiat Teng et al.

Most simple undisplaced fractures can be managed without surgery by immobilising the limb with a splint, prescribing medication for pain, and providing advice and early rehabilitation. Recent systematic reviews based on retrospective observational studies have reported that virtual fracture clinics can deliver follow-up care that [...]

Are clinically unimportant findings qualified as benign in lumbar spine imaging reports? A content analysis of plain X-ray, CT and MRI reports – Caitlin Farmer et al.

Lumbar spine diagnostic imaging reports may cause patient and clinician concern when clinically unimportant findings are not explicitly described as benign. Our primary aim was to determine the frequency that common, benign findings are reported in lumbar spine plain X-ray, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic [...]

Clinical care standards for the management of low back pain: a scoping review – Gabriel S. Alves et al.

The objective of this study is to compare and contrast the quality statements and quality indicators across clinical care standards for low back pain. Searches were performed in Medline, guideline databases, and Google searches to identify clinical care standards for the management of low back [...]

Behavioural ‘nudging’ interventions to reduce low-value care for low back pain in the emergency department (NUDG-ED): protocol for a 2×2 factorial, before-after, cluster randomised trial – Gemma Altinger et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-04-05T13:06:47+11:00Back pain, Imaging, Low back pain, Low-value care, Musculoskeletal, Opioids, Overuse, Pain, Publications|

Opioids and imaging are considered low-value care for most people with low back pain. Yet around one in three people presenting to the emergency department (ED) will receive imaging, and two in three will receive an opioid. NUDG-ED aims to determine the effectiveness of two [...]

Corporate Influences on Science and Health—the Case of Spinal Cord Stimulation – Adrian C. Traeger & Lisa A. Bero

Corporations have been developing tactics to undermine independent science for decades. In the 1950s, on learning of the damaging effects of tobacco on health, the tobacco industry used campaigns of criticism to defend their products and the substantial revenue they were generating. Corporations could effectively [...]

Improving hip fracture care: A five-year review of the early contributors to the Australian and New Zealand Hip Fracture Registry – Morag E. Taylor et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-02-13T13:21:55+11:00Ageing, Clinical guidelines, Hip, Musculoskeletal, Pain, Prescribing, Publications, Surgery, Treatment|

The aim of this study was to examine temporal trends (2016–2020) in hip fracture care in Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) hospitals that started providing patient-level data to the ANZ Hip Fracture Registry (ANZHFR) on/before 1 January 2016 (early contributors). Retrospective cohort study of early [...]

The effectiveness of allied health and nurse practitioner models-of-care in managing musculoskeletal conditions in the emergency department: a systematic review and meta-analysis – Simon P Vella et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-02-11T15:13:05+11:00Health system, Low back pain, Musculoskeletal, Neck, Pain, Physiotherapy, Publications|

Musculoskeletal conditions are the most common health condition seen in emergency departments. Hence, the most effective approaches to managing these conditions is of interest. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of allied health and nursing models of care for the management of musculoskeletal [...]
