One of the greatest challenges with low back pain is identifying risk factors that may predict when a single back pain episode will become a long-term, persistent pain condition. When this happens, quality of life is often very low and healthcare resource use high. The health, social and economic burden of low back pain is well documented. The audit had a distinctive objective to establish the extent to which our current practice compiled with the validated NICE guidelines. Identifying risk factors that may predict when a single back pain episode will become a long term, persistent pain condition leading to quality of life often very low and healthcare resource use high The data was collected through hospital records and E-care. The nature of the audit was a retrospective study. Patient data was further filtered based on the age group along with patients with clinical diagnosis of any acute spinal issues requiring treatment/ management or back pain associated with any other ongoing medical/surgical issues. Different parameters of the current NICE guidelines for Low back pain and Sciatica in over 16s, Assessment and management were reviewed, and the extent of compliance evaluated with the current practice at MKUH. There was a clear lack in compliance with the NICE guidelines. A lack of awareness regarding the NICE guidelines and the risk stratification tool was observed amongst the doctors. Based on the audit results several recommendations were made. Revision of Back pain leaflet and making sure leaflet is handed over on discharge. There was also a recommendation to develop a QR based format for the back pain leaflet. Involve Physiotherapy to facilitate the smooth running of the pathway with provision to referral to psychology and pain team as necessary. Working with GP’s to create a multi team approach including coordination between GP, surgeries, hospital, physiotherapy & pain team. Recent Publications: 1.
