One-year escalation-of-care events were evaluated based on type of physical therapist interventions (ie, active, passive, or manual therapy) received using adjusted odds ratios.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Most patients (89.9%) received active interventions. Patients with 10% higher proportion of visits that included at least 1 passive intervention had a 3% to 6% higher likelihood of 1-year escalation-of-care events. Similarly, with 10% higher proportion of passive to active interventions used during the course of care, there was a 5% to 11% higher likelihood of 1-year escalation-of-care events. When compared to patients who received active interventions only, the likelihood of incurring 1-year escalation-of-care events was 50% to 220% higher for those who received mechanical traction and 2 or more different passive interventions, but lower by 50% for patients who received manual therapy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Greater use of passive interventions for LBP was associated with elevated odds of 1-year escalation-of-care events. In addition, the use of specific passive interventions such as mechanical traction in conjunction with active interventions resulted in suboptimal escalation-of-care events, while the use of manual therapy was associated with more favorable downstream health care outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Impact<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Physical therapists should be judicious in the use of passive interventions for the management of LBP as they are associated with greater likelihood of receiving opioid prescriptions, spinal injections, and specialty care visits.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/pzad173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,19]],"date-time":"2023-12-19T11:34:01Z","timestamp":1702985641000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Influence of Active, Passive, and Manual Therapy Interventions for Low Back Pain on Opioid Prescription and Health Care Utilization"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Shawn","family":"Farrokhi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Extremity Trauma and Amputation Center of Excellence, Defense Health Agency , Falls Church, Virginia ,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Physical and Occupational Therapy, Naval Medical Center San Diego , San Diego, California ,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences , Bethesda, Maryland ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9364-1410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Bechard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Extremity Trauma and Amputation Center of Excellence, Defense Health Agency , Falls Church, Virginia ,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Physical and Occupational Therapy, Naval Medical Center San Diego , San Diego, California ,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"The Henry M.
