Declarations
:
: Early management of work-related shoulder pain did not align to clinical practice guidelines, with a potential over-reliance of imaging and comparative delay in starting prescribed exercise in this cohort. This may negatively affect claims outcomes and is worth targeting in pragmatic implementation trials.
: SR was employed part-time by the CGU Workers’ Compensation during the time this study took place. DB, TM and SR work as musculoskeletal physiotherapists in the WA workers’ compensation environment, in which they manage injured workers whose employers have policies with the insurer. The insurer had no influence on the production of this manuscript.
: All procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000. A data access and confidentiality agreement was established between Curtin University and CGU for access to the CGU file records.
: Ethical approval was obtained through Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (Approval Number HRE2018-0539). A data access and confidentiality agreement was established between Curtin University and the insurer.
: Given the data was retrospective, participant permission could not be gained for this study, however the insurer had previously gained consent to acquire and maintain appropriate medical information upon lodgement of all participant’s workers’ compensation claims.
: Workers compensation claims files were viewed in a secure area within the insurer’s premises and de-identified data was stored on password protected computers to avoid unauthorised dissemination of claim details. There is no identifying personal data (i.e. individuals details, images or videos) shared within this study which would require consent to publish.
