This may be how factors such as depression or workload at initial data collection are risk factors for the onset of back pain at follow-up (e.g. [ 5, 46]), or how factors such as pain levels or psychological distress around the time of consultation predict poorer prognosis at follow-up (e.g. [ 47, 48]).
