Vos CJ et al. - One hundred eighty-seven patients were included in the study, of which 180 patients were included in the analysis. Almost half of the patients were better or much improved within the first week. Test-retest reliability was high. Almost 40% of the patients reported sick leave because of neck pain during the follow-up period. An optimal cutoff score of 72 was calculated for predicting future sick leave, with a sensitivity of 77% and a specificity of 62%. The area under the curve of the receiver operator characteristics curve was regarded doubtful. The study concluded that the ALBPSQ has shown to be a reliable instrument and potentially useful in a screening procedure for future sick leave in patients with acute neck pain in general practice.
