Isotemporal substitution analysis offers new insights for public health but has only recently been applied to sedentary behavior research. We aimed quantify associations between the of 10 min with light physical activity (LPA) or moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) and prevalence cardiovascular disease (CVD). Age was also explored as a potential effect modifier.We completed secondary data from 1477 adults Health Survey England (2008). Sedentary time, LPA, MVPA were measured using accelerometry....
Nonrandomized longitudinal observational study.The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between baseline pain duration and medium-to-long term clinical outcomes, in low back (LBP) patients enrolled on North East England Regional Back Pain Radicular Pathway (NERBPP).The NERBPP is based upon National Institute for Health Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. These guidelines no longer differentiate management LBP duration. Medium-to-long data from lacking.Between May 2015 December...
To quantify the influence of baseline pain levels on weight change at one-year follow-up in patients attending a National Health Service specialist management programme.We compared (body mass) between patient sub-groups none-to-mild, moderate, and severe baseline. A mean sub-group difference ≥5kg was considered clinically relevant.Of 141 complete cases, n = 43 (30.5%) reported none-to-mild pain, 44 (31.2%) moderate 54 (38.3%) pain. Covariate-adjusted loss (95%CI) similar for those with...
Study Design. Longitudinal observational study. Objective. To investigate the association between duration of pain at baseline and clinical outcomes patients with low back (LBP) enrolled on North East England Regional Back Pain Radicular Pathway (NERBPP). Summary Background Data. The NERBPP is a pathway based upon National Institute for Health Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines (2009) LBP <1-year duration. Recent changes to NICE (2016) advocate same management all regardless Methods....
An Internet-based evaluation of Web sites using a validated assessment tool.To evaluate the quality information on scoliosis recommended by UK NHS consultants.One most common sources inquiry is for purposes health-related information. The number in field has increased, yet reported to continue be poor quality. 2 previous studies this area identified through use single search term, "scoliosis," 5 popular engines.Seven were inclusion study from results survey consultants. These independently...
Patients' involvement in decision-making regarding their own health care is considered to be of great importance. However, information needs are frequently reported unfulfilled. Few studies have investigated the knowledge, and support adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients families. Furthermore, previous predominantly focussed on relating surgery. No been conducted specifically identify AIS An online survey consisting 18 questions was investigate Completed surveys 83 participants (76...

Summary Recent studies using computational and mathematical interrogation of background EEG have revealed eight biomarkers that inform a diagnostic decision-support tool called BioEP. To assess the utility BioEP for aiding clinical decision making, we conducted prospective single-site belief updating study ( NCT05764252 ). Eighty-six adults with suspected seizures attended nurse-led, first-seizure clinic. Using 7-point scale ranging from ‘virtually certain’ to ‘exceptionally unlikely’, two...
People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a higher prevalence of pain and greater risk falls than their healthy peers. As has been associated an increased in older adults, this study investigated the association between people COPD compared to controls. Data from English Longitudinal Study Ageing were used establish when modelled generalised ordinal logistic regression adjusted for sex, age, wealth, education (complete case analysis only; n = 806 COPD, 3898 controls). The...
Evaluate the outcomes and explore experiences of patients undergoing a residential combined physical psychological programme (CPPP) for chronic low back pain.A longitudinal observational cohort design, with parallel qualitative design using semistructured interviews.Residential, multimodal rehabilitation.136 adults (62 male/74 female) referred to CPPP, 100 (44 male/56 whom completed programme, during term study. Ten (2 male/8 participated in evaluation.A 3-week CPPP.Primary outcome measures...
<b>Introduction:</b> People with COPD have a higher prevalence of pain and greater risk falls than healthy people the same age. Whilst has been linked to in older adults without COPD, its possible role not investigated individuals COPD. <b>Aim:</b> We aimed explore association between comorbid incident <b>Methods:</b> Data were from English Longitudinal Study Aging. Comorbid was assessed on 4-point scale based responses items "are you often troubled by pain?" "how bad is most time? Is it…...
Background Government policy documents have identified the need for good information patients; a notion supported throughout literature, in particular written information. Despite reported wealth of leaflets and booklets being available providing such information, failure to address requirements patients their families is consistently noted literature. A preliminary review literature regarding scoliosis did not find any studies that investigated service users perspectives what should be...
