Utilization and Potential Disparities in Access to Physical Therapy for Spine Pain in the Long-Term Care Population.
Arch Phys Med Rehabil
November 2024
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Division of Physical Therapy, University of Washington, Seattle WA; Evidence and Research (CLEAR) Center for Musculoskeletal Disorders, the University of Washington Clinical Learning, Seattle, WA.
Objective: To determine the frequency of physical therapy (PT) services and potential disparities in receiving PT among Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries with a history of spine pain who live in long-term care (LTC) settings.
Design: Secondary cross-sectional analysis of Medicare administrative data on beneficiaries with a history of spine pain from 2017-2019. We identified LTC residents using a validated algorithm, then identified and described PT episodes that occurred after the LTC index date.

Central Sensitization and Pain: Pathophysiologic and Clinical Insights.
Curr Neuropharmacol
November 2023
Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA.
Unlabelled: Central sensitization is an increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons in the central nervous system to their normal or subthreshold afferent input.
Aim: To explain how the notion of central sensitization has changed our understanding of pain conditions, discuss how this knowledge can be used to improve the management of pain, and highlight knowledge gaps that future research needs to address.
Methods: Overview of definitions, assessment methods, and clinical implications.
Long-term effectiveness of epidural steroid injections after new episodes of low back pain in older adults.

Evidence and Research (CLEAR) Center for Musculoskeletal Disorders, The University of Washington Clinical Learning, Seattle, WA, USA.
Background: There is limited research on the long-term effectiveness of epidural steroid injections (ESI) in older adults despite the high prevalence of back and leg pain in this age group. We tested the hypotheses that older adults undergoing ESI, compared to patients not receiving ESI: (1) have worse pain, disability and quality of life ('outcomes') pre-ESI, (2) have improved outcomes after ESI and (3) have improved outcomes due to a specific ESI effect.
Methods: We prospectively studied patients ≥65 years old presenting to primary care with new episodes of back pain in three US healthcare systems (BOLD registry).
A Continuously Benchmarked and Crowdsourced Challenge for Rapid Development and Evaluation of Models to Predict COVID-19 Diagnosis and Hospitalization.
JAMA Netw Open
October 2021
Department of Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education, University of Washington, Seattle.
Importance: Machine learning could be used to predict the likelihood of diagnosis and severity of illness. Lack of COVID-19 patient data has hindered the data science community in developing models to aid in the response to the pandemic.
Objectives: To describe the rapid development and evaluation of clinical algorithms to predict COVID-19 diagnosis and hospitalization using patient data by citizen scientists, provide an unbiased assessment of model performance, and benchmark model performance on subgroups.
