Out today in @ARD_BMJ

We assessed the performance of AI Chatbots in answering common questions people ask about back pain.

AI Chatbots made appropriate treatment recommendations ~60% of the time - a number that's comparable to clinicians' performance!

Important discussion! Addressing intervention fidelity in trials is crucial. The first Delphi survey to reach consensus on fidelity domains and reporting items is coming very soon, as part of ReFiND development!

Disease awareness campaign websites often encouraged, rather than just described, tests and treatments, highlighted benefit more than harm, and rarely noted potential problems such as overdiagnosis or overtreatment. https://t.co/SFvIfp1AGv

People who had previously received advice for LBP were more likely to be concerned about it 🤔

People with acute low back pain have concerns that may not be addressed by guideline-recommended advice: a mixed-methods study

Up to 1.2 million Australians, including many people aged over 45, live with #osteoarthritis of the #knee – a common cause of pain and joint stiffness.

Many people can manage their condition successfully without surgery.

[ACSQHC @ACSQHC]

OUT NOW | We have released our updated Osteoarthritis of the Knee Clinical Care Standard to improve how we assess and manage this common #health condition, which affects up to 1.2 million Australians.

Data sharing in biomedicine needs to become an expected & standard practice. @EQUATORNetwork is well positioned to support initiatives in reporting all aspects of data sharing

[MSKPhysioJournal @MSKPhysioJnl]

For tendonopathies, ‘wait & see’ is at times advocated as a good strategy to improve pain & function.

Indeed it can, but the evidence is inconclusive with some studies actually showing ⬆️results by adding interventions 🧐
