It’s interesting how behaviour is changed…Soon et al (2019) demonstrated presenting the high-value options as “default" to GPs in simulated vignettes reduced the odds of low-value LBP mx options being selected by 44%. qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/28/7/5…

Da Silva et al 2019 confirm that recurrence rate of low back pain is high. Prognostic factors included exposure to awkward posture, longer time sitting, and more than two previous episodes of low back pain. Factors potentially related to disc mechanics? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

ow.ly/OyLX30nlls2 2018 SR highlights moderate evidence for a positive association between certain pro-inflammatory biomarkers & severity/presence of NsLBP. Identifying subgroups in which inflammation plays a role could allow for specific treatment, e.g. anti-inflammatories.
