Subgroups of Older Adults With Back Pain & Multiple Chronic Conditions

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The overall goal of this study is to use the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) data to gain an understanding of how multiple chronic conditions impact the health outcomes of older adults with back pain.

Clinical Trial Description

This study seeks to gain knowledge regarding how multiple chronic conditions affect the health and function of older adults with back pain. The investigators will perform a retrospective cohort study using secondary analysis of the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) data. NHATS collected longitudinal data on Medicare beneficiaries over 65 for six years, from 2011-2017. This set of data is comprehensive and includes self-reported survey data as well as physical performance data, both of which this study will utilize.

The specific aims include to 1) Estimate the longitudinal associations of the number of chronic conditions, using a standard classification scheme, with long-term physical performance, function, and recurrent falls, 2) Identify specific combinations of chronic conditions that are most strongly associated with long-term physical performance, function, and recurrent falls, 3) Determine the association of the number and type of chronic conditions with rehabilitation service use. The investigator will test a corresponding hypothesis for each aim: 1) Medicare beneficiaries reporting back pain with a greater number of chronic conditions will have worse physical performance, lower functional status, and be more likely to experience recurrent falls over 6 years, 2) Medicare beneficiaries reporting back pain with common and potentially modifiable conditions of anxiety, depression, and arthritis (individually and combined as dyads or a triad) will have worse physical performance, lower functional capacity, and be more likely to experience recurrent falls over 6 years, 3) Medicare beneficiaries with back pain and multiple chronic conditions will report lower use of rehabilitation services in the past one year compared to those with back pain alone or one additional chronic condition. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
