Impact of Shared Decision-Making on Opioid Prescribing Among Patients with Chronic Pain: A Retrospective Cohort Study
This study measured whether SDM affects opioid prescribing frequency for chronic low back pain. A retrospective cohort study involving 1478 participants was conducted within a national pain research registry. The patient participation and patient orientation (PPPO) scale of the Communication Behavior Questionnaire was used to measure SDM, including classification of greater SDM (PPPO scale score≥80) or lesser SDM (PPPO scale score<80). Opioid prescribing frequency was measured at quarterly intervals from enrollment through 12 months. Baseline and longitudinal covariates were collected to adjust for potential confoundi...

Development of an evidence-based diagnostic algorithm for infection in patients with transcutaneous osseointegration following amputation
Conclusions: This seminal investigation to develop a preoperative diagnostic algorithm for peri-TOFA infection suggests that the clinical examination remains paramount. Further evaluation of a wider spectrum of clinical, laboratory, and imaging data, consistently and routinely collected with prospective data techniques in larger cohorts of patients, is necessary to create a robust predictive algorithm.PMID:38600998 | PMC:PMC11002918 | DOI:10.5194/jbji-9-49-2024 (Source: Pain Physician)

Physician Empathy and Chronic Pain Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cohort study of adult patients with chronic pain, physician empathy was associated with better outcomes over 12 months. Greater efforts to cultivate and improve physician empathy appear warranted.PMID:38602675 | PMC:PMC11009829 | DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.6026 (Source: Pain Physician)

Patient-reported experience with Fabry disease and its management in the real-world setting: results from a double-blind, cross-sectional survey of 280 respondents
CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis highlights the gap between current standard-of-care in disease monitoring and patient perception of disease progression among patients with FD. This information may be helpful for healthcare providers and drug developers seeking to improve the care of patients with FD by addressing unmet needs of high relevance.PMID:38605390 | PMC:PMC11007961 | DOI:10.1186/s13023-024-03090-4 (Source: Pain Physician)

BMJ Open Qual. 2024 Apr 10;13(2):e002670. doi: 10.1136/bmjoq-2023-002670.ABSTRACTThe Sengkang General Hospital Orthopaedic Spine Outpatient Service is facing a growing challenge of increasing number of referrals and waiting times, placing a significant burden on the system. Primary care referrals have an average wait time of 61.1 days, with 34.5%f patients waiting longer than 60 days from referral to appointment, to see a spine physician.Back pain is a very common presentation, with the vast majority resolving after conservative management which commonly includes analgesia, physiotherapy and reassurance. Unfortunately, man...
