Prediction of healthcare utilization following an episode of physical therapy for musculoskeletal pain

Abstract: BackgroundIn the United States, value-based purchasing has created the need for healthcare systems to prospectively identify patients at risk for high healthcare utilization beyond a physical therapy episode for musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study was to determine predictors of pain-related healthcare utilization subsequent to an index episode of physical therapy for musculoskeletal pain.MethodsThis study assessed data from the Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome (OSPRO) longit… Show more

“…To investigate if the potential predictors contributed independently to the prediction of healthcare utilization, analyses were adjusted for the following known non-modifiable prognostic factors [11]: 1) Age, 2) gender, 3) duration of pain (based on baseline questionnaire), which was dichotomized into under/ over 3 months and 4) comorbidity (patients were asked at the first consultation if they had other health problems), which was dichotomized into comorbidity or no comorbidity.…”

“…This composite is an alternative to using the single rating of pain 'at its worst' as the measure of pain intensity (Cleeland & Ryan, 1994). The composite score might understate pain intensity compared with the single rating of pain 'at its worst', but it has better reliability and validity (Jensen et al, 1993;, and has been used in many other recent studies of chronic pain (eg., Lentz et al, 2018;Wilson et al, 2019).…”
