Lumbar Imaging with Reporting of Epidemiology (LIRE)--protocol for a pragmatic cluster randomized trial.
The researchers will conduct a pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial to test the hypothesis that inserting data on the prevalence of incidental imaging findings into lumbar spine imaging reports for studies ordered by primary care providers will reduce subsequent spine-related interventions. Their primary outcome will be spine-related intervention intensity based on Relative Value Units (RVUs) during the following year.
AHRQ-funded; HS022982.
