Lumbar Imaging With Reporting of Epidemiology: A Pragmatic Cluster Randomized Trial

University of Washington·interventional·Posted Dec 19, 2013·Updated Feb 14, 2022

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Epidemiologic benchmarks included in lumbar imaging reports for Low Back Pain and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 250,401 participants across 4 sites.

Detailed Summary

The overall goal of the Lumbar Image Reporting with Epidemiology (LIRE) is to perform a large, pragmatic, cluster randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of a simple, inexpensive and easy to deploy intervention - insertion of epidemiological benchmarks into lumbar spine imaging reports - at reducing subsequent tests and treatments. The investigator's main hypothesis is that for patients referred from primary care providers, inserting epidemiological evidence in lumbar spine imaging reports will reduce subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, including cross-sectional imaging (MR/CT), opioid prescriptions, spinal injections and surgery.
