Interventions to reduce low-value care for low back pain

Explored novel and important considerations for reducing low-value care for low back pain including quantifying the amount of agreement and uncertainty across high-quality guideline recommendations for low back pain management and understanding the environmental impact of low back pain health care. Additionally, Bayden identified routinely collected low back pain indicators in Australia and leveraged these to develop an internationally agreed national minimum dataset of low back pain indicators that could serve as an effective surveillance tool for benchmarking and monitoring changes with respect to the burden and care of low back pain over time.
