This study reports chronic pain prevalence in a randomly selected sample of the adult Australian population. Data were collected by Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) using generated telephone numbers and two-stage stratified design. Chronic was defined as experienced every day for three months six prior to interview. There 17,543 completed interviews (response rate=70.8%). reported 17.1% males 20.0% females. For males, peaked at 27.0% 65--69 year age group females, 31.0% oldest...
Little is known about the relationship between chronic pain status and overall use of healthcare. We examined whether disabling was associated with more frequent healthcare in three settings: primary care, emergency departments, hospital admissions. used data from Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) 17,543 residents New South Wales, Australia aged 16 over who were randomly sampled using a population-based two-stage stratified sample random digit dialling methods. The response rate...

This study compared an outpatient pain self-management (PSM) program, using cognitive-behavioural therapy and exercises, with 2 control conditions in 141 chronic patients aged > 65 years. Results immediately posttreatment indicated that relative to the Exercise-Attention Control (EAC) group, PSM group was significantly improved on measures of distress, disability, mood, unhelpful beliefs, functional reach. The mean effect size for these gains 0.52 (range: 0.44-0.68). By 1-month follow-up,...
Standard network meta-analysis (NMA) and indirect comparisons combine aggregate data from multiple studies on treatments of interest, assuming that any effect modifiers are balanced across populations. Population adjustment methods relax this assumption using individual patient one or more studies. However, current matching-adjusted comparison simulated treatment limited to pairwise cannot predict into a specified target population. Existing meta-regression approaches incur aggregation bias....

This nonlinear pattern was even more striking when subjects categorized according their balance ability rise...
Abstract Background Behavioural exposure methods can reduce pain‐avoidance behaviours, but outcomes vary. One possible explanation is that patients employ cognitive (experiential) avoidance during behavioural exposure. If so, reducing should help. option interoceptive ( IE ), which involves sustained (via attention) to pain sensations. In order test if could improve from exposure, this study with mixed chronic compared a therapy CBT ) management programme incorporating either or distraction...
Rapid improvement of psoriasis is valued by patients and should be considered to an important factor in treatment selection. We investigated Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) Dermatology Life Quality (DLQI) response rates within the first 12 weeks compare rapid 11 biologic therapies for moderate-to-severe using Bayesian Frequentist network meta-analyses (NMA). A systematic literature review was conducted identify phase 3, double-blind, randomized, controlled trials adult with treated...
This study compares the outcomes, from pretreatment to 1-year follow-up, of an outpatient, CBT-based pain self-management program (PSM) that included exercises, education, and coping strategies, with a control condition (exercise-attention control, EAC) exercises for attention treatment team. We previously reported short-term results (to 1-month follow-up) same study. new paper considers important issue maintenance treatment-related gains. The participants (n = 141) were heterogeneous sample...
Abstract Background Clinical trials study treatment outcomes under stringent conditions, capturing incompletely the heterogeneity of patient populations and complexities encountered in real‐world practice. Objectives To compare effectiveness anti‐interleukin (IL)‐17A biologics relative to other approved patients with moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis. Methods The Psoriasis Study Health Outcomes (PSoHO) is an ongoing 3‐year observational cohort adults chronic plaque psoriasis initiating or...
Objectives To determine the prevalence and determinants of disability among elderly people living in community. Design A cross-sectional postal questionnaire survey. Setting Northern Sydney Area Health Service. Participants 1527 residents (622 men 905 women) aged 65 years over. Main outcome measures Self-reported chronic illnesses, injuries or conditions; difficulties with activities daily assessed by Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ); home modification use functional aids. Results "Arthritis...
Respiratory diseases represent a significant impact on health care. A cross-sectional, multicountry (India, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand) observational study was conducted to investigate the proportion of adult patients who received care for primary diagnosis asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or rhinosinusitis.To determine AR, COPD, rhinosinusitis, frequency main symptoms reported.Patients ages ≥18 years, presented physician...
