What is the association between the presence of comorbidities and the appropriateness of care for low back pain? A population-based medical record review study.

This study established that the presence of comorbidities is associated with poorer care for LBP. Understanding why this is so is an important direction for future research. Further studies using a larger cohort are needed to explore the association between comorbidities and appropriateness of care for LBP, to better inform guidelines and practice in this area.
