Abstract:

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are highly prevalent, painful, and costly disorders. The MSD database was created to characterize variation in pain, comorbidities, treatment, and outcomes among patients with MSD receiving Veterans Health Administration (VHA) care across demographic groups, geographic regions, and facilities. This national database is a rich resource for collaborative pain-relevant health service research.
