Chronic Low Back Pain: Prevalence, Impact on Quality of Life, and Predictors of Future Disability.

Background: In primary healthcare settings, chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a widespread health issue with a great global impact.

Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 918 adults attending primary healthcare settings in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to estimate the cLBP prevalence, its effect on health-related quality of life (QOL), and predictors of subsequent disability. The visual analog scale of pain (VAS), World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHO-QOL), and Oswestry low back pain disability index (ODI) were used to assess back pain severity, impact on QOL, and physical disability, respectively.

Endobronchial Intubation With the King Vision and McGrath Laryngoscopes in Simulated Easy and Difficult Airways by Novices (eKingMath).

. The competency of using video laryngoscopes (VL) for double-lumen tube (DLT) endobronchial intubations can be improved with constant training as assessed by measuring the learning curves. We hypothesized that the time to DLT intubation would be reduced over the intubation attempts.
