“…Secondary outcome measures included the following self-reported questionnaires: numerical pain rating scale (11-point scale ranging from 0 to 10) during activity and at rest [8,39]; Oxford Hip and Knee Score (12-item scale measuring pain and physical function) [10,11]; SF-12 Generic Health Survey (generic quality-of-life measure with two components-a physical component summary and a mental component summary [MCS]) [29,41,45]; University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score (with 10 descriptive activity levels ranging from wholly inactive and dependent on others [level one], sometimes [34,48]; and a patient-reported global rating of change (GRC) score for measuring self-perceived change in physical activity (measured postoperatively using a 7-point Likert scale ranging from very much worse to very much better) [16,23]. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics (Version 19; SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA).…”

“…The physical subscale assesses physical functioning, role limitations resulting from physical health problems, bodily pain, and general health perceptions. The PCS of the SF-12 has demonstrated responsiveness, good test-retest reliability (Pearson's r[0.75), good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha [ 0.70), and validity with correlations greater than 0.90 with the SF-36 in generalized and various patient populations [23,33,62].…”

Background There has been increasing evidence to support the importance of psychosocial factors to poor outcomes after trauma. However, little is known about the contribution of pain catastrophizing and fear of movement to persistent pain and disability. Questions/purposes Therefore, we aimed to determine whether (1) high pain catastrophizing scores are independently associated with pain intensity or pain interference; (2) high fear of movement scores are independently associated with decreased physical health; and (3) depressive symptoms are independently associated with pain intensity, pain interference, or physical health at 1 year after accounting for patient characteristics of age and education. Methods Of 207 eligible patients, we prospectively enrolled 134 patients admitted to a Level I trauma center for surgical treatment of a fracture to the lower extremity. Sixty percent of patients (80 of 134) had an isolated lower extremity injury and the remainder sustained additional minor injury to the head/spine, abdomen/thorax, or upper extremity. Pain catastrophizing was measured with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, fear of movement with the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, and depressive symptoms with the Patient Health Questionnaire. Pain and physical health outcomes were assessed with the Brief Pain Inventory and the SF-12, respectively. Assessments were completed at 4 weeks and 1 year after hospitalization. Multiple variable hierarchical linear regression analyses were used to address study hypotheses. One hundred ten patients (82%)

“…The SF-12 has good testretest reliability measured over a 2-week period, with correlation coefficients of 0.89 for the physical component and 0.76 for the mental component [35]. Finally, the SF-12 has good internal consistency, validity and responsiveness in patients with low back pain [20].…”

Patterns of sick-leave and health outcomes in injured workers with back pain

Little is known about the sick-leave experiences of workers who make a workers' compensation claim for back pain. Our objective is to describe the 1-year patterns of sick-leave and the health outcomes of a cohort of workers who make a workers' compensation claim for back pain. We studied a cohort of 1,831 workers from five large US firms who made incident workers' compensation claims for back pain between January 1, 1999 and June 30, 2002. Injured workers were interviewed 1 month (n = 1,321), 6 months (n = 810) and 1 year (n = 462) following the onset of their pain. We described the course of back pain using four patterns of sick-leave: (1) no sick-leave, (2) returned to worked and stayed, (3) multiple episodes of sick-leave and (4) not yet returned to work. We described the health outcomes as back and/or leg pain intensity, functional limitations and health-related quality of life. We analyzed data from participants who completed all followup interviews (n = 457) to compute the probabilities of transition between patterns of sick-leave. A significant proportion of workers experienced multiple episodes of sick-leave (30.2%; 95% CI 25.0-35.1) during the 1-year follow-up. The proportion of workers who did not report sick-leave declined from 42.4% (95% CI 39.0-46.1) at 1 month to 33.6% (28.0-38.7) at 1 year. One year after the injury, 2.9% (1.6-4.9) of workers had not yet returned to work. Workers who did not report sick-leave and those who returned and stayed at work reported better health outcomes than workers who experienced multiple episodes of sick-leave or workers who had not returned to work. Almost a third of workers with an incident episode of back pain experience recurrent spells of work absenteeism during the following year. Our data suggest that stable patterns of sick-leave are associated with better health.
