Chronic Low-Back Pain, Psychologic Distress, and Illness Behavior
Abstract
The authors have calculated the mathematic relationship between measured elements of illness behavior in chronic low-back pain. Objective physical impairment accounts for about one-half the total disability that also is affected by psychologic reactions. The most important psychologic disturbance in low-back pain is emotional distress, measured on questionnaires as increased bodily awareness and depression and presenting clinically as inappropriate descriptions of symptoms and inappropriate responses to physical examination. Simple methods for the assessment of distress and illness behavior in chronic low-back pain are developed and described.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
