The Spine Journal, 10/23/09
Dagenais S et al. – Few cost utility analyses (CUAs) were identified for LBP, and there was heterogeneity in the interventions compared, direct cost components measured, indirect costs, other methods, and results. Reporting quality was mixed. Currently published CUAs do not provide sufficient information to assist decision makers. Future CUAs should attempt to measure all known direct cost components relevant to LBP, estimate indirect costs such as lost productivity, have a follow–up period sufficient to capture meaningful changes, and clearly report methods and results to facilitate interpretation and comparison.
