A controlled study on the outcome of inpatient and outpatient treatment of low back pain. Part III. Long-term follow-up of pain, disability, and compliance.
The long-term outcome results of  inpatient and outpatient treatment  of low back pain ( LBP ) were studied in 476 subjects ( aged 35 - 54 , 63 % men ) r and omly assigned to three study groups : in patients ( n = 157 ) , out patients ( n = 159 ) , and controls ( n = 160 ) . The study included changes in the severity of low back pain , grade and disability , compliance with self-care , data on disability pensions , and days of sickness allowance  during a 2.5-year follow-up period . These variables were used as outcome criteria . Pain and disability had decreased significantly in the two treated groups up to the 3-month follow-up . LBP was still a little slighter in the in patients at the 1.5-year and 22-month follow-ups , but there were no significant differences between the groups in disability caused by LBP . The refresher programme carried out 1.5 years after the first one did not bring about as clear short-term improvement in pain and disability as the first treatment . During the whole 2.5-year follow-up compliance with self-care was better in the two treated groups , especially in the in patients . Days of sickness allowance had increased somewhat more in the controls than in the in patients during the follow-up . No differences between the groups were found in the number of disability pensions granted
