“…Most other epidemiological studies have also found a lower prevalence of chronic pain among individuals with more schooling 7,8,9,10,11 . However, studies that specifically compared men and women and chronic pain found no differences between the sexes in relation to schooling 12,21 .…”

“…Cross-sectional studies suggest that increases in chronic pain are associated mainly with female gender, aging, and low socioeconomic status 7 . Although most studies found an association between increased pain and female gender 7,8,9,10,11 , few epidemiological studies have compared how men and women experience pain 7,12,13 .…”

Purpose This study was designed to investigate the role of chronic pain in healthcare visits. The specific objectives were to document the frequency of healthcare visits and to identify characteristics associated with frequent visits. Methods This is a secondary analysis of data from a Canadian cross-sectional study on chronic pain. One thousand two hundred and ninety-four participants were screened for chronic pain, and 741 reported having ''pain or discomfort that had been experienced either all the time or intermittently for at least three months''. Data regarding sociodemographics, general health, and healthcare visits were also collected. The frequency of healthcare visits was defined as at or above the 90th percentile for the group. Frequency was calculated for each setting, i.e., physicians' offices (C 9), emergency departments (C 1), and other (C 15). Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with frequent visits.Results Chronic pain increased the frequency of visits to physicians (odds ratio [OR], 4.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.8 to 7.9), emergency departments (OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.0 to 2.0), and ''other'' healthcare professionals (OR, 8.3; 95% CI, 4.5 to 15.5). Having C3 chronic conditions significantly increased the odds of frequent healthcare visits. Conclusion Interventions aimed at reducing healthcare costs for chronic pain should target individuals living with multiple chronic conditions. Research is needed to develop and test interventions that focus on the needs of these groups. Identifying the risk factors for high healthcare use and improving self-management may reduce healthcare visits. RésuméObjectif Cette étude a été conçue afin d'examiner le rô le de la douleur chronique dans les visites aux services de soins de santé. Les objectifs spécifiques de l'étude étaient de documenter la fréquence des visites et de déterminer les caractéristiques associées à des visites fréquentes. Méthode Cette étude est une analyse secondaire de données tirées d'une étude canadienne transversale sur la douleur chronique. Au total, 1094 patients ont été dépistés pour la douleur chronique, et 741 ont rapporté ressentir « des douleurs ou un inconfort perçus de façon continue ou intermittente pendant au moins trois mois ». Les données sociodémographiques ainsi que celles concernant la santé générale et les visites aux services de soins de santé ont également été colligées. La fréquence des visites aux services de soins de santé a été définie comme étant égale ou au-dessus du 90 e percentile pour le groupe et calculée pour chaque type de service, soit les docteurs et spécialistes (C 9), les départements d'urgence (C 1), et

“…Many older persons ( ‡60 years of age) develop chronic illnesses that may be associated with persistent pain [1][2][3][4]. The inadequate treatment of persistent pain in older persons is associated with numerous adverse outcomes such as functional impairment, accidental falls (with or without injury), slow rehabilitation, decreased socialization, greater health care costs, and greater resource utilization.…”

(2015) Gastroprotective efficacy and safety of single-tablet ibuprofen/famotidine vs ibuprofen in older persons, The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 43:3, 193-199, DOI: 10.1080/00913847.2015 Objectives: A combination tablet of ibuprofen 800 mg and famotidine 26.6 mg given three times daily is effective for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and decreases the risk of developing upper gastrointestinal (GI) ulcers. This analysis evaluated the gastroprotective efficacy and safety of the single-tablet combination of ibuprofen/famotidine compared with ibuprofen alone on the basis of age and the presence of one or more risk factors for development of upper GI ulcer. Methods: Pooled data from the 24-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group REDUCE-1 and REDUCE-2 trials were used. Endoscopies were performed in patients aged 40-80 years. The proportion of patients who developed ‡1 upper GI ulcer during treatment with ibuprofen/famotidine versus ibuprofen alone stratified on the basis of age (<60 or ‡60 years) was evaluated. Further, analyses were performed on additional risk factors for ulcer development. Results: Gastroprotective efficacy of the combination was not affected by age. Pooled results demonstrated statistically significantly fewer upper GI (10.0 vs 19.5%, p < 0.0001), gastric (8.9 vs 16.8%, p = 0.0004), and duodenal ulcers (1.1 vs 5.4%, p < 0.0001) in patients <60 years treated with ibuprofen/famotidine versus ibuprofen alone compared with 12.9 vs 26.6% (p = 0.0002), 11.9 vs 23.4% (p = 0.0011), and 1.0 vs 4.5% (p = 0.0096), respectively, in patients ‡60 years. The ibuprofen/famotidine combination provided nearly 51 and 59% reduction in the risk of developing a GI ulcer in patients <60 years and ‡60 of age, respectively. Efficacy was maintained in the presence of additional risk factors, as well. Conclusions: These results indicate that the fixed-combination of ibuprofen/famotidine provides gastroprotection in those of older age, with or without additional risk factors for the development of upper GI ulcers, as compared with ibuprofen alone.
