This article presents a prospective design to examine the value of three demographic, three orthopaedic, and four psychometric variables as predictors of orthopaedic and rehabilitation outcome in 116 Workers' Compensation patients seriously considered for first lumbar surgery, separately for the 74 who eventually did undergo surgery, and the 42 who did not. According to researchers there is substantial literature on the possible psychological and demographic predictors of nonorganic or "functional" involvement in low back pain. Most of these studies compared patients who were judged to be "functional with those judged to be "organic" based upon absence or presence, respectively, of appropriate medical findings. |
