Cognitive-behavioural and social factors do not predict recurrent secondary healthcare use in patients with fibromyalgia: a longitudinal study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that the existence of comorbidities as communicated by the patient is the strongest warning signal for recurrent secondary healthcare use in FM. There seems no value in using cognitive-behavioural and social factors for early identification of patients with FM at risk for recurrent secondary healthcare use.
