Abstract

We developed the Brief Scale for Psychiatric Problems in Orthopaedic Patients (BS-POP, physician and patient versions) and have previously shown that the BS-POP is reliable and has construct validity, criterion validity, and reproducibility. The present study aimed to proactively verify the responsiveness of the BS-POP with regard to chronic low back pain (LBP) patients. The study subjects included 193 chronic LBP patients (81 males, 112 females; mean age 62 years) who had suffered from persistent LBP for ≥3 months. During the first test (before the treatment), the BS-POP, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), the Profile of Mood States (POMS), the 36-item Short-form Health Survey version 2 (SF-36 v2), and the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ) were conducted. The BS-POP, POMS, SF-36 v2, and RDQ for the third test were conducted (4-6 weeks after treatment) on all patients who had participated in the first test to determine the responsiveness of the BS-POP. The responsiveness of the BS-POP was investigated statistically. The total crude BS-POP scores were significantly lower for both physician and patient versions in the third test than in the first test. Moreover, the crude RDQ scores and SF-36 v2 it...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
