low back pain in 17 year olds has substantial impact and represents an important public Health Disorder a cross sectional study
BMC Public Health, 2012Co-Authors: Peter Osullivan, Darren Beales, Anne Smith, Leon StrakerAbstract:Background Prevalence of low back pain (LBP) rises rapidly during adolescence, reaching adult levels by the age of 18. It has been suggested that adolescent LBP is benign with minimal impact, despite limited evidence.

BMC Public Health, 2012Co-Authors: Peter Osullivan, Darren Beales, Anne Smith, Leon StrakerAbstract:Prevalence of low back pain (LBP) rises rapidly during adolescence, reaching adult levels by the age of 18. It has been suggested that adolescent LBP is benign with minimal impact, despite limited evidence. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of LBP and the influence of chronicity, gender and presence of other spinal pain comorbidities at age 17. Subjects (n = 1283) were categorised according to experiencing current and chronic LBP, gender and presence of other areas of spinal pain. LBP impact was ascertained via questions regarding seeking professional assistance, using medication, missing school/work, limited normal or recreational physical activity and Health related quality of life (HRQOL). 12.3% of participants reported current but not chronic LBP, while 19.9% reported current chronic LBP. LBP was more commonly reported by females than males. Other spinal pain comorbidities were common in the LBP groups. Impact was greater in subjects with chronic LBP, in females and in those with other spinal pain comorbidities. LBP, and particularly chronic LBP, has a significant negative impact at 17 years. It is commonly associated with care seeking, medication use, school absenteeism, and reduced HRQOL. These findings support that adolescent LBP is an important public Health issue that requires attention.

rates of undiagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity Disorder in london drug and alcohol detoxification units
BMC Psychiatry, 2012Co-Authors: Zoe Huntley, Stefanos Maltezos, Charlotte A Williams, Alun Morinan, Amy Hammon, David Ball, Jane E Marshall, Francis Keaney, Susan Young, Patrik BoltonAbstract:ADHD is a common childhood onset mental Health Disorder that persists into adulthood in two-thirds of cases. One of the most prevalent and impairing comorbidities of ADHD in adults are substance use Disorders. We estimate rates of ADHD in patients with substance abuse Disorders and delineate impairment in the co-morbid group. Screening for ADHD followed by a research diagnostic interview in people attending in-patient drug and alcohol detoxification units. We estimated prevalence of undiagnosed ADHD within substance use Disorder in-patients in South London around 12%. Those individuals with substance use Disorders and ADHD had significantly higher self-rated impairments across several domains of daily life; and higher rates of substance abuse and alcohol consumption, suicide attempts, and depression recorded in their case records. This study demonstrates the high rates of untreated ADHD within substance use Disorder populations and the association of ADHD in such patients with greater levels of impairment. These are likely to be a source of additional impairment to patients and represent an increased burden on clinical services.
