645 Getting What You Pay For: Impact of Copayments on Physical Therapy Initiation, Timing, and Continuation for Acute-Onset Low Back Pain

Abstract

The most frequent hashtags were #neurosurgery, #medicine, and #surgery. When comparing the 30 profiles with the most followers to the rest of the field, average interaction (437.13 vs. 136.44; p < 0.001), uploads (569.43 vs 199.65; p = 0.003), likes given in the top posts (791.16 vs 217.78; p < 0.001), and comments given in the top posts (32.67 vs 17.19; p = 0.03) were significantly higher in the top 30. Although the top 30 profiles had an average increased posts per week (2.15 vs. 1.34; p = 0.18) posts per month (8.06 vs. 4.87; p = 0.16), and lifestyle posts (3.9 vs. 2.83), those were not significant.CONCLUSIONS: Neurosurgeons may be able to increase their footprint and reach a wider audience by increasing their upload rate. Our analyses found that most neurosurgeons' posts are centered around clinical and professional interests.
