The Groningen Spine Cohort follows patients with low back pain who visited the Spine Center UMCG. For a period of ten years, the course of the symptoms, perceived disabilities and quality of life, and the effects on work participation are being evaluated.
The healthcare consumption by patients, the productivity costs, and the treatments and advice given by professionals, employers, and relatives are also being assessed. The results of the study will help to improve the quality and efficiency of low back pain care.
