Use and satisfaction with the Healthcare System of the chronic pain patients in Spain: results from a nationwide study

Abstract

CP produces relevant demands on healthcare resources, conditioned by the consequences within the family and the effects on their employment. To achieve greater patient satisfaction, professionals need to pay particular attention to certain sites of pain and to patients' mental health.

Chronic widespread pain prevalence in the general population: A systematic review

“…Country CWP prevalence data (Table ) is from the United Kingdom ( N = 9) (Croft et al., ; Hunt et al., ; Macfarlane et al., , ,b; Benjamin et al., ; Papageorgiou et al., ; Carnes et al., ; Lee et al., ; Pang et al., ; Vandenkerkhof et al., ; Choudhury et al., ; Flüß et al., ; Walker‐Bone et al., ), Spain ( N = 4) (Mas et al., ; Bannwarth et al., ; Macfarlane et al., ; Branco et al., ; Lee et al., ; Dueñas et al., , ), Brazil ( N = 3) (Assumpção et al., ; Santos et al., ; Cabral et al., ), Sweden ( N = 4) (Lindell et al., ; Bergman et al., ; Gerdle et al., ; Macfarlane et al., ; Lee et al., ; Dragioti et al., ), United States ( N = 2) (Wolfe et al., ; Riskowski, ), France ( N = 2) (Bannwarth et al., ; Branco et al., ; Perrot et al., ), Germany ( N = 2) (Schochat and Raspe, ; Bannwarth et al., ; Branco et al., ), Israel ( N = 2) (Buskila et al., ; Ablin et al., ), Italy ( N = 2) (Bannwarth et al., ; Macfarlane et al., ; Branco et al., ; Lee et al., ), Norway ( N = 2) (Abusdal et al., ,b; Hagen et al., ), Belgium ( N = 1) (Macfarlane et al., ; Lee et al., ), Canada ( N = 1) (White et al., ), Estonia ( N = 1) (Macfarlane et al., ; Lee et al., ), Hong Kong ( N = 1) (Scudds et al., ), Hungary ( N = 1) (Macfarlane et al., ; Lee et al., ), Netherlands ( N = 1) (Picavet and Schouten, ), Poland ( N = 1) (Macfarlane et al., ; Lee et al., ), Portugal ( N = 1) (Bannwarth et al.,…”

“…CWP was identified using the ACR criteria ( N = 24) (Wolfe et al., ), the Manchester definition ( N = 3), and a study‐specific definition ( N = 5). CWP data were collected by postal survey ( N = 10) (Croft et al., ; Abusdal et al., ,b; Lindell et al., ; Bergman et al., ; Papageorgiou et al., ; Picavet and Schouten, ; Hagen et al., ; Carnes et al., ; Gerdle et al., ; Flüß et al., ; Dragioti et al., ), telephone ( N = 1) (Dueñas et al., , ) face‐to‐face interviews ( N = 2) (Mas et al., ; Cabral et al., ), clinical examination ( N = 1) (Santos et al., ), touch screen questionnaire ( N = 1) (Walker‐Bone et al., ) or combined methods ( N = 15) (Wolfe et al., ; Hunt et al., ; Macfarlane et al., , ,b; White et al., ; Benjamin et al., ; Buskila et al., ; Schochat and Raspe, ; Topbas et al., ; Scudds et al., ; Assumpção et al., ; Bannwarth et al., ; Branco et al., ; Lee et al., ; Pang et al., ; Perrot et al., ; Vandenkerkhof et al., ; Ablin et al., ; Choudhury et al., ; Riskowski, ).…”

“…Quality scores ranged from 6/12 to 12/12 (Supporting Information Table ), with 10 manuscripts being noted as having low quality (≤8/12) (Abusdal et al., ,b; White et al., ; Papageorgiou et al., ; Picavet and Schouten, ; Scudds et al., ; Gerdle et al., ; Pang et al., ; Perrot et al., ; Vandenkerkhof et al., ) and 29 of high quality (≥9/12) (Croft et al., ; Wolfe et al., ; Hunt et al., ; Macfarlane et al., , ,b; Benjamin et al., ; Buskila et al., ; Lindell et al., ; Bergman et al., ; Schochat and Raspe, ; Hagen et al., ; Topbas et al., ; Carnes et al., ; Mas et al., ; Assumpção et al., ; Bannwarth et al., ; Branco et al., ; Lee et al., ; Santos et al., ; Ablin et al., ; Choudhury et al., ; Cabral et al., ; Riskowski, ; Dueñas et al., , ; Flüß et al., ; Dragioti et al., ; Walker‐Bone et al., ). Most of the included manuscripts ( n = 37) consistently identified the CWP outcome measure and study eligibility criteria.…”

“…Age-specific data were provided in 14 studies (Croft et al, 1993;Abusdal et al, 1997a,b;Hunt et al, 1999;Macfarlane et al, 1999Macfarlane et al, , 2009bBenjamin et al, 2000;Buskila et al, 2000;Lindell et al, 2000;Bergman et al, 2001;Picavet and Schouten, 2003;Carnes et al, 2007;Gerdle et al, 2008;Mas et al, 2008;Bannwarth et al, 2009;Branco et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2010;Dueñas et al, 2015Dueñas et al, , 2016Dragioti et al, 2016;Walker-Bone et al, 2016). Due to the variability in each of the available studies' age bandings it was not possible to combine the data for further analysis.…”
