Prognostic factors associated with changes in knee pain outcomes, identified from initial primary care consultation data. A systematic literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data collected during initial primary care consultations could be a source of baseline prognostic factors associated with changes in outcome measures for patients with knee pain.

Objectives

To identify, appraise and synthesize studies investigating prognostic factors associated with changes in outcome for people presenting with knee pain in primary care.

Methods

EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED, MEDLINE and MedRxiv electronic databases were searched from inception to March 2021 and repeated in August 2022. Prospective cohort studies of adult participants with musculoskeletal knee pain assessing the association between putative prognostic factors and outcomes in primary care were included. The Quality in Prognostic Studies (QUIPS) tool and The Modified Grading of Recomm
