Purpose: The process and outcomes of delivering medical care for chronic low back pain might affect patient satisfaction. We aimed to determine the associations of process and outcomes with patient satisfaction.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of patient satisfaction among adult participants with chronic low back pain in a national pain research registry using self-reported measures of physician communication, physician empathy, current physician opioid prescribing for low back pain, and outcomes pertaining to pain intensity, physical function, and health-related quality of life.
Background: Despite the diagnostic accuracy of advanced neurodiagnostic procedures, the detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains poor in primary care. There is an urgent need for screening tools to aid in the detection of early AD.
Objective: This study examines the predictive ability of structural retinal biomarkers in detecting cognitive impairment in a primary care setting.
Purpose: To assess and compare the diagnostic accuracy of whole-body (WB) DW-MRI with 2-[F]FDG PET for staging and treatment monitoring of children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).
Methods: Twenty-three children with LCH underwent 2-[F]FDG PET and WB DW-MRI at baseline. Two nuclear medicine physicians and two radiologists independently assessed presence/absence of tumors in 8 anatomical areas.
