TI  - Association between spinal and non-spinal health conditions reported in 
      epidemiological studies: a scoping review protocol.
PG  - e075382

AB  - INTRODUCTION: The increasing prevalence of coexisting health conditions poses a 
      challenge to healthcare providers and healthcare systems. Spinal pain (eg, neck 
      and back pain) and spinal pathologies (eg, osteoporotic fractures and 
      degenerative spinal disease) exist concurrently with other non-spinal health 
      conditions (NSHC). However, the scope of what associations may exist among these 
      co-occurring conditions is unclear. Therefore, this scoping review aims to map 
      the epidemiological literature that reports associations between spine-related 
      pain and pathologies (SPPs) and NSHCs. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review 
      will follow the JBI protocol and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews 
      and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. We will systematically search 
      the literature using key words and MeSH terms for SPPs and NSHCs. 
      Terminology/vocabulary for NSHCs will include those for communicable and 
      non-communicable diseases as reported by WHO Global Burden of Disease reports. 
      Five databases will be searched from inception: MEDLINE, EMBASE, APA PsycInfo, 
      Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection. Papers published in English, in 
      peer-reviewed journals, including measures of association between SPPs and NSHCs 
      and using observational epidemiologic study designs will be included. Excluded 
      will be studies of cadaveric, animal or health behaviours; studies with no 
      measures of association and non-observational epidemiologic studies. Results will 
      include the number of studies, the studies that have evaluated the measures of 
      association and the frequency of the studied associations between SPPs and NSHCs. 
      Results will be reported in tables and diagrams. Themes of comorbidities will be 
      synthesised into a descriptive report. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This scoping 
      review was deemed exempt from ethics review. This review will provide a 
      comprehensive overview of the literature that reports associations between SPPs 
      and NSHCs to inform future research initiatives and practices. Results will be 
      disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and research 
      conferences. REGISTRATION DETAILS: https://osf.io/w49u3.
