title: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Healthcare Utilization Associated with Paravertebral Blocks for Chronic Pain Management in Ontario

description: <b>Background</b>: Injections, particularly paravertebral blocks (PVBs), are frequently performed procedures in Ontario, Canada, for the management of chronic pain, despite limited evidence and risk of complications. <b>Aim:</b> This study examines usage patterns of PVBs to evaluate their effects on healthcare utilization and opioid prescribing. <b>Methods:</b> A retrospective cohort study in Ontario using administrative data. Ontario residents receiving their initial PVBs between July 1, 2013 and March 31, 2018 were included. Changes in use of other interventions, physician visits, and opioids were compared to the 12-month periods before and after index PVBs. Data use was authorized under section 45 of Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act. <b>Results:</b> 47,723 patients received their initial PVBs in the study period. The rate of index PVBs increased from 1.61 per 10,000 population (2013) to 2.26 per 10,000 (2018). Initial PVBs were performed most commonly by family physicians (<i>N</i> = 25,042), followed by anesthesiologists (<i>N</i> = 14,195). 23,386 patients (49%) received 1 to 9 repeat PVBs in the 12 months after index PVB; 12,474 patients (26.15%) received 10 or more. Use of other nonimage guided interventional pain procedures per patient (mean±SD) increased from 2.19 ± 9.35 to 31.68 ± 52.26 in the year before and after index PVB. Relevant physician visits per patient (mean±SD) also increased from 2.92 ± 3.61 to 9.64 ± 11.77. Mean opioid dosing did not change significantly between the year before and the year after index PVB. <b>Conclusion:</b> PVBs are associated with increases in healthcare utilization and no change in opioid use patterns.

title: Attending work with chronic pain is associated with higher levels of psychosocial stress

description: <b>Background and Aims</b>: Much is known about the impact of pain in terms of medical costs and missed work. Less is known about its associations when individuals are present for work. This study examines “presenteeism” by analyzing the psychosocial costs of pain in the workplace, using the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS). <b>Methods</b>: We conducted cross-sectional analysis of 2384 individuals with chronic pain and 2263 individuals without pain (matched by age and sex) using data from the 2015 EWCS. We compared groups in terms of the following psychosocial factors: supervisor support, job responsibility, team cohesion, discrimination, threats/abuse, job competency, job reward, sexual harassment, stress, and job security. The groups were also compared in terms of days lost due to illness. <b>Results</b>: People with pain were 64% less likely to view their job as rewarding (odds ratio [OR] = 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57–0.65), 47% more likely to be subjected to threats/abuse in the workplace (OR = 0.68; 95% CI, 0.63–0.73), 30% more likely to report poor supervisor support (OR = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.73–0.82), and 28% more likely to perceive discrimination in the workplace (OR = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.71–0.85). People with pain missed approximately nine more days of work per year than respondents without pain. <b>Conclusions</b>: Chronic pain was associated with lower vocational fulfillment and feelings of being ostracized in the workplace. These findings suggest that the presence of pain in the workplace goes well beyond lost productivity due to absenteeism.

title: “Power of Storytelling”: A Content Analysis of Chronic Pain Narratives on YouTube

description: <b>Background</b>: First-person digital narratives are short videos produced independently by or in partnership with the person to tell their personal experience. <b>Objectives</b>: The objective of this study was to describe how first-person digital narratives of adults with non-cancer pain are represented on YouTube. A secondary aim was to analyze first-person digital narratives hosted on pain management websites of professional organizations to explore whether these videos represented chronic pain with the same content. <b>Method</b>: Guided by the methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley, a conventional content analysis was undertaken analyzing the chronic pain videos published on YouTube and six global pain management websites. <b>Results</b>: Of the 78 videos (54 YouTube and 24 pain websites) that were analyzed, the overarching theme “power of storytelling” suggests that personal stories were used as a medium to share lived experiences of chronic pain, providing help and advice to similar others. The four supporting themes were (1) My pain journey, (2) Navigating health care, (3) Pain and the impact on me, and (4) What works for me. There was no major difference in subthemes between the YouTube and pain website videos. <b>Conclusion</b>: Digital narratives enable those living with chronic pain to voice their experiences and communicate their pain journeys and may thus provide a sense of validation. Digital narratives can be used as a therapeutic tool to provide insights for others into the lived experience of chronic pain and to provide peer support for people with pain. Future studies are needed to investigate the clinical effectiveness and implementation of digital stories in chronic pain management.

title: COVID-19 Pandemic Impact and Response in Canadian Pediatric Chronic Pain Care: A National Survey of Medical Directors and Pain Professionals

description: <b>Background</b>: The COVID-19 pandemic presents one of the greatest threats to pediatric pain care seen in generations. Due to public health restrictions, many pediatric pain clinics halted in-person appointments, delaying and disrupting access to care. There is no existing research on the impacts of COVID-19 on pediatric chronic pain care in Canada or the challenges experienced by health care professionals and pain clinics. <b>Aims</b>: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on Canadian pediatric chronic pain care by documenting how health care professionals provided care during the first six months of the pandemic. <b>Methods</b>: Two Canadian online cross-sectional surveys were conducted: one among Canadian pediatric pain clinic directors (Study 1) and another among multidisciplinary pediatric pain health care professionals (Study 2). <b>Results</b>: Responses from 13/13 Canadian pediatric pain clinics/rehabilitation programs indicated that all clinics provided virtual care during the pandemic. No significant changes were reported on the frequency of appointment requests. Most clinics reported no perceived change in patient pain levels (<i>n</i> = 9/13, 69%) or occurrence of pain flares (<i>n</i> = 10/13, 77%). Results from 151 individual health care professionals indicated that the majority (90%) of non–emergency department respondents were providing virtual care. The main challenges of virtual care included technological barriers, financial concerns, infrastructure and logistics, privacy, and clinical challenges. <b>Conclusions</b>: This study documented the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric chronic pain care in Canada and highlighted the rapid shift to using virtual solutions. Simultaneously, respondents outlined current challenges and potential solutions to consider in the development of virtual care guidelines and policy in Canada.

title: SBC LTER: Reef: Kelp Forest Community Dynamics: Invertebrate and algal density

description: These data describe the abundance and size of a select group of about 50 species of benthic invertebrates and understory algae in fixed plots (either 1mx1m or 20mx1m) along permanent transects. These data are part of SBCLTER?s kelp forest monitoring program to track long-term patterns in species abundance and diversity of reef-associated organisms in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, USA. The sampling locations in this dataset are at nine reef sites along the mainland coast of the Santa Barbara Channel and at two sites on the north side of Santa Cruz Island. These sites reflect several oceanographic regimes in the channel and vary in distance from sources of terrestrial runoff. Sampling began in 2000, and these data are updated annually.

title: SBC LTER: Time series of kelp biomass in the canopy from Landsat 5, 1984 -2011

description: This data package has been deprecated because the models/methods have been changed. Please see the new data package using updated models: Kelp canopy biomass from Landsat 5, 7, and 8. These data are a time series of canopy biomass of the giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, derived from LANDSAT 5 Thematic Mapper satellite imagery. The kelp canopy is composed of the portions of fronds floating on the surface of the water. Biomass data (wet weight, kg) are given for individual 30 x 30 meter pixels in the coastal areas extending from near Pt. Reyes, California, to Punta Abreojos, Baja California Sur, Mexico, including the Northern and Southern Channel Islands. Data were derived from Landsat 5 TM images. Observations are made on a 16 day reqeat cycle but the temporal coverage is irregular because of cloud cover and instrument failure. Estimates of kelp canopy biomass are derived from the relationship between satellite surface reflectance and empirical measurements of kelp canopy biomass in long-term SBC LTER study plots obtained using SCUBA. Data are organized into yearly files, and zipped to compress. In its entirety this dataset is large, more than 3 GB and 80 million lines. To receive an archive of all data, or for assistance with subsets (e.g., range of dates or a latitude/longitude) contact sbclter@msi.ucsb.edu.

title: SBCLTER: Reef: Net primary production, growth and standing crop of Macrocystis pyrifera in Southern California

description: These data are a time series of net primary production (NPP), growth and standing crop for the giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, that is appropriate for examining seasonal and inter-annual patterns across multiple sites. The standing crop and loss rates of M. pyrifera are measured monthly in permanent plots at three sites in the Santa Barbara Channel, USA. Collection of these data began in May 2002 and is ongoing. Seasonal estimates of NPP and growth rate are made by combining the field data with a model of kelp dynamics. The dataset includes plant density in each plot and censuses of fronds on tagged plants at each site. NPP, mass specific growth rate and standing crop are presented in four metrics (wet mass, dry mass, carbon mass and nitrogen mass) to facilitate comparisons with previous studies of M. pyrifera and with NPP measured in other ecosystems. A subset of these data covering the time period 2002-05-01 to 2007-12-31 were contributed to Ecological Archives as Data Paper E089-119-D1 in 2008 (citation: Andrew Rassweiler, Katie K. Arkema, Daniel C. Reed, Richard C. Zimmerman, and Mark A. Brzezinski. 2008. Net primary production, growth, and standing crop of Macrocystis pyrifera in southern California. Ecology 89:2068).
