An analysis of the Lumbar Imaging with Reporting of Epidemiology (LIRE) cluster-randomized trial was published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine this month, titled “Effects of Including Epidemiologic Data in Lumbar Spine Imaging Reports on Prescribing Non-Opioid Medications for Pain“. This research was supported in part by the UW CLEAR Center and sought “to evaluate the effect of epidemiologic information in spine imaging reports on non-opioid pain medication prescribing for primary care patients with back pain”.
Congratulations to all authors!
