Patient Expectations as Predictors: Understanding Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Musculoskeletal Conditions
In this cohort, a patient's baseline expectations score is a positive and significant predictor of long-term (12-week) PF and PI-related outcomes in musculoskeletal conditions. Pseudo R<sup>2</sup> was higher for physical function than for pain interference, indicating higher explanatory power of the model for 12-week PF. These findings suggest clinicians can use patient expectations to help better predict and potentially improve patient outcomes.
