A Multidimensional Regression Model for Predicting Recurrence in Chronic Low Back Pain

This study found that the STarT BACK tool is suboptimal in predicting the 2-year recurrence of chronic low back pain (CLBP). Our proposed multidimensional machine learning model aids clinicians in identifying patients at high risk for future recurrence of CLBP and in implementing appropriate preventive measures. Given the considerable healthcare resource utilisation associated with the frequent recurrence of CLBP, our novel model provides significant assistance in addressing this issue, demonstrating substantial clinical relevance.
