About this trial
Spinal pain is frequently accompanied by other chronic conditions (multimorbidity) and the predicted rise in multimorbidity prevalence emphasizes the need for studies to understand its impact on patients with chronic pain conditions.
Therefore the aims of the two studies are to:
Work package 1 - Determine prevalence of multimorbidity among patients with spinal pain referred to hospital outpatient clinics. Examine associations with relevant health-related factors and cover the significance of multimorbidity in the diagnostic process, referral patterns and healthcare utilization.
Work package 2: Examine the association between treatment burden arising from multimorbidity and patient prognosis in structured rehabilitation.
Across both work packages data will be derived from individuals initially referred to the Department of Rheumatology at Aalborg University Hospital (AaUH) or the Medical Spine Clinic in Silkeborg (MSCS).
