Primary Care • Nottingham Medical School have delivered a commissioning tool for practice based commissioners • It is NOT validated to identify individuals • It uses the practice data base to identify people who are likely to have MUS
How many? • Factors included • Age • Chronic fatigue • Life stress • Long term illness • Negative ESR • Anti-depressants • Z= -1.9269 + -0.0292(X1) + 1.7709(X2) + 0.6125(X3) + 0.8156(X4) + 0.8648(X5) + 0.9476(X6)
How many severe patients? • Factors • Age • Anti-depressants • Dryness • Obesity • Sleep problems • Negative ESR • Life stress • Asthma • Z= -3.3399 + -0.0106(X1) + 1.2742(X2) + 0.9175(X3) + -0.7362(X4) + 0.6755(X5) +1.1049(X6) + 1.1388(X7) + 0.5055(X8) www.iapt.nhs.uk and search for “MUS The Nottingham Tool”
Acute OPD Prevalence of MUS in acute out patients in a London Teaching Hospital • Clinic % • Chest 59% • Cardiology 56% • Gastroenterology 60% • Rheumatology 58% • Neurology 55% • Dental 49% • Gynaecology 57%
Cost to the NHS Bermingham et al in press
Summary • LTCs and MUS is costing the NHS lots of money • We know that psychological support will influence outcomes • What are you doing about it?
