Demographic and Health-Related Characteristics of Patients With Shoulder Impairments Who Had Low Versus Elevated Fear-Avoidance Beliefsa

  • ↵a ICD-9=International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition; CPT=Current Procedural Terminology.

  • b Significance for differences between low versus elevated fear groups for various characteristics has not been calculated, as such significance will not be adjusted for random effects (clinics) and missing data and any reference to it will be misleading.

  • c The category of “Other musculoskeletal conditions” was created by combining dislocations (n=22, ICD-9 code 831), contusions (n=7, ICD-9 code 923), peripheral nerve disorders (n=6, ICD-9 codes 353 and 953.4), and not otherwise classified musculoskeletal conditions (n=41) due to their very small sample size.
