Clustering of patients with chronic low back pain in terms of physical and psychological factors: A cross-sectional study based on the STarT Back Screening Tool.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients in low and high risk subgroups of SBT were sufficiently differentiated, but patients in a medium risk subgroup had a different profile based on PII. Including additional physical factors in the SBT may be required to better differentiate among patients. PMID: 31658040 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
