“…Only 39 of 112 patients returned the questionnaire as no reminders were given to the patients to return the questionnaire. As shown for other musculoskeletal injection sites, non-responders in general have better outcomes compared to patients returning the questionnaire [26,27]. It might be partially explained by the urge of unsatisfied patients to complain.…”

“…However, the results of this study do not show any difference in clinical importance in any outcome variable. Results from the previous studies in various areas have usually found that responders seem to be healthier, with a better outcome than non-responders [24][25][26]. However, this does not seem to be the case after surgical treatment for lumbar degenerative disorders [5,6].…”

ObjectivesSwitzerland has optimal conditions for research of language-based cultural influences on low back pain (LBP). The aim of this study was to compare LBP treatment outcomes after chiropractic care between patients from the German- and French-speaking regions of Switzerland.MethodsBaseline Numeric Rating Scale for pain (NRS), demographic, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) data were collected from patients presenting to 51 Swiss-German and 12 Swiss-French chiropractors. Prospective outcome data included the proportion reporting clinically relevant improvement on the Patient Global Impression of Change scale and the NRS change scores collected at 1 week; 1, 3, and 6 months; and 1 year. ODI change scores were collected until 3 months. The proportion improved between the 2 groups was compared using the χ2 test. NRS and ODI change scores were compared using the unpaired t test.ResultsAt baseline, only patient age comparing 853 Swiss-German and 215 Swiss-French patients revealed a significant difference. The Patient Global Impression of Change, NRS, and ODI had no significant differences between both patient groups up to 6 months. Between 6 months and 1 year the proportion reporting improvement continued to increase to 83.5% for German-speaking Swiss but reduced to 73.1% for French-speaking Swiss (P = .01). The NRS change scores were also higher for German speaking Swiss at 1 year compared with Swiss-French citizens (P = .01).ConclusionTreatment outcome data for LBP are comparable in the German and French parts of Switzerland until the 1-year time point, when people located in the French-speaking regions are more likely to have an increase in pain levels.
