What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the prevalence of multimorbidity among patients suffering from spinal pain, specifically focusing on back and neck pain. It consists of two work packages: the first assesses the prevalence of multimorbidity and its impact on healthcare utilization and diagnostic processes, while the second investigates the treatment burden associated with multimorbidity and its effect on patient outcomes during rehabilitation. Data will be collected from patients referred to the Department of Rheumatology at Aalborg University Hospital and the Medical Spine Clinic in Silkeborg using questionnaires and electronic health records.
