Influence of nationality on the trajectories of pain, disability and health related quality of life in neck and back patients – The Norwegian Neck and Back Registry
Both patient groups improved over the 12-month period. Non-Norwegian patients showed an overall higher level of pain, disability and lower HRQOL compared to Norwegian patients, with a differential effect over time as a function of nationality for disability and HRQOL. Suggesting that future studies should focus on potential systemic barriers that may affect the recovery of neck and back patients based on nationality.
