The purpose of this study was to determine if some commonly used admission variables could predict treatment outcome on a multidisciplinary pain center. Specifically, it was designed as a prospective study of an index proposed by Maruta et al. The subjects were 104 patients. The 4 outcome measures used were staff judgment, patient judgment, change in pain scores and change in mood. With the exception of a negative correlation with age, none of the other variables predicted outcome. The index of Maruta did not predict outcome.
本研究的目的是确定一些常用的入院变量是否能够预测多学科疼痛中心的治疗结果。具体而言，它被设计为一项对Maruta等人提出的一个指标的前瞻性研究。研究对象为104名患者。所使用的4种结果测量方法为工作人员评估、患者评估、疼痛评分变化和情绪变化。除了与年龄呈负相关外，其他变量均无法预测结果。Maruta的指标也无法预测结果。
