A scoping review of biopsychosocial risk factors and co-morbidities for common spinal disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this review was to identify risk factors, prognostic factors, and comorbidities associated with common spinal disorders.

Methods

A scoping review of the literature of common spinal disorders was performed through September 2016. To identify search terms, we developed 3 terminology groups for case definitions: 1) spinal pain of unknown origin, 2) spinal syndromes, and 3) spinal pathology. We used a comprehensive strategy to search PubMed for meta-analyses and systematic reviews of case-control studies, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials for risk and prognostic factors and cross-sectional studies describing associations and comorbidities.

Results

Of 3,453 candidate papers, 145 met study criteria and were included in this review. Ri
