Background: Pain is impacted by bio-psycho-social factors and is closely related to disability and poor quality of life. Therefore, a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) is needed to capture these aspects effectively. The Short Form Brief Pain Inventory (SF-BPI) serves this purpose as a tool for pain assessment. However, the Danish translation (SFBPI-DK) has not undergone validation.

Objective: Assess the validity and reliability of SFBPI-DK.

Methods: In patients with spine-related pain, construct validity was tested using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and convergent validity through correlations with EuroQol 5-domain 5-level (EQ-5D-5L), EQ-5D-5L VAS, Work Ability Score (WAS), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI-7). Internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's alpha. In individuals with musculoskeletal pain, test-retest reliability and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC) were evaluated. Floor and ceiling effects were reported for both groups.

Results: In patients with spine-related pain (n = 329), construct validity of the SFBPI-DK was confirmed through CFA of a modified 3-factor structure. Convergent validity showed "fair" to "moderate strong" associations with EQ-5D-5L, EQ-5D-5L VAS, WAS, and ISI-7. Internal consistency was satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha 0.89-0.91). In individuals with musculoskeletal pain (n = 119), good temporal stability was demonstrated with ICCs of 0.76-0.88. The MDC for the Severity score, Interference score, and the Physical- and Affective Interference subscores were 3.37, 2.41, 3.57, and 4.01, respectively.

Conclusion: The SFBPI-DK is a valid tool for assessing pain in patients with persistent spine-related pain and a reliable tool for individuals with persistent musculoskeletal pain among Danish-speaking populations.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effects of using gabapentin alongside opioids compared to tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) or duloxetine with opioids in older adults with spine-related issues.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 134,266 Medicare beneficiaries, focusing on mortality rates and major medical complications from 2017 to 2019.
  • They found no significant difference in mortality between the two groups, but those on gabapentin and opioids had a slightly higher risk of major medical complications.

Article Synopsis
  • Obesity is linked to various health issues, including affecting spine surgery outcomes; this meta-analysis evaluates its impact on surgical patients.
  • The study reviewed data from 35,639 patients, comparing 9,369 obese individuals (BMI ≥ 30) with 26,270 non-obese patients (BMI < 30), analyzing both patient-reported outcomes and surgical metrics.
  • Findings indicate that while obese patients reported similar outcomes in terms of disability and pain, they faced longer surgical times, more blood loss, extended hospital stays, and higher rates of complications compared to non-obese patients.

Nutrition interventions for spine-related pain: A scoping review.

Biomol Biomed

November 2024

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.

Multiple studies have been published regarding various nutritional supplements or interventions to improve chronic pain. However, many of these studies emphasized widespread pain and were not specific to the spine. Therefore, the primary objective of this scoping review was to evaluate available evidence related to nutritional supplementation or dietary strategies for spine-related pain.

Background Context: Recent work indicates no increased mortality risk with concurrent gabapentin and opioid use when using an active comparator control design. However, concurrent gabapentin and opioid prescriptions have been associated with greater risk of respiratory depression in some studies.

Purpose: To compare the risk of respiratory events among Medicare enrollees with spine-related diagnoses treated with gabapentin + opioids vs those treated with tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) or duloxetine + opioids.
