Although best practice guidelines share a consistent diagnostic approach for the evaluation of patients with low back pain, confusion remains as to what extent patient history and physical examination findings can inform management strategies. The aim of this study was to summarize evidence investigating the diagnostic value of patient evaluation components applicable in primary care settings for the diagnosis of low back pain. To this end, peer-reviewed systematic reviews were searched in MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Cochrane databases from 1 January 2000 to 10 April 2023. Paired reviewers independently reviewed all citations and articles using a two-phase screening process and independently extracted the data. Of the 2077 articles identified, 27 met the inclusion criteria, focusing on the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis, radicular syndrome, non- specific low back pain and specific low back pain. Most patient evaluation components lack diagnostic accuracy for the diagnosis of low back pain when considered in isolation. Further research is needed to develop evidence-based and standardized evaluation procedures, especially for primary care settings where evidence is still scarce.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12103581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,22]],"date-time":"2023-05-22T02:00:27Z","timestamp":1684720827000},"page":"3581","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Diagnosis Value of Patient Evaluation Components Applicable in Primary Care Settings for the Diagnosis of Low Back Pain: A Scoping Review of Systematic Reviews"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7045-7554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Janny","family":"Mathieu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, 3351, Boul. des Forges, C.P. 500, Trois-Rivieres, QC G8Z 4M3, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M\u00e9gane","family":"Pasquier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Franco-Europ\u00e9en de Chiropraxie, 72 Chemin de la Flamb\u00e8re, 31300 Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Descarreaux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Kinetics, Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, 3351, Boul. des Forges, C.P. 500, Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, QC G8Z 4M3, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9e-Anne","family":"Marchand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chiropractic, Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, 3351, Boul. des Forges, C.P. 500, Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, QC G8Z 4M3, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2023, January 16).
