Table 3 Observed outcomes in the control group, the total SMS group, and the participants in the SMS group responding in more than 26 out of the 52 weeks
From: Effects of weekly pain monitoring on back pain outcomes: a non-randomised controlled study
Continuous outcomes | Control group (N = 1,225) | SMS group (N = 1,623) | SMS group responding in > 26 weeks (N = 995) |
|---|---|---|---|
LBP at 12 months follow-up, NRS (0–10); mean (SD) | 2.6 (2.4) (n = 799) | 2.1 (2.4) (n = 1,012) | 2.0 (2.4) (n = 826) |
Activity limitation, RMDQ (0–100); mean (SD) | 19.5 (22.8) (n = 610) | 20.1 (22.9) (n = 847) | 19.9 (22.6) (n = 720) |
Ability to control pain, NRS (0–10); mean (SD) | 7.9 (2.4) (n = 790) | 7.9 (2.6) (n = 999) | 7.9 (2.6) (n = 813) |
Binary outcomes | Control group (N = 1,225) | SMS group (N = 1,623) | SMS group responding in > 26 weeks (N = 995) |
|---|---|---|---|
Pain > 3, yes; n (%) | 239 (29.9%) (n = 799) | 236 (23.3%) (n = 1,012) | 182 (22.0%) (n = 826) |
Non-improvement of activity limitation; n (%) | 137 (22.8%) (n = 601) | 184 (22.0%) (n = 835) | 152 (21.3%) (n = 714) |
Lack of pain control, yes; n (%) | 85 (10.8%) (n = 790) | 105 (10.5%) (n = 999) | 90 (11.1%) (n = 81) |
