Objective[edit | edit source]

Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Yellow Flag (OSPRO-YF) is a multidimensional screening tool used to assess psychosocial factors in individuals with musculoskeletal pain.[1]

Description[edit | edit source]

The presence of yellow flags contributes to a patient's rehabilitation and overall pain experience[2][3]. Clinical practice guidelines[4][5] recommend evaluation of psychological components for pain conditions. OSPRO-YF is useful in understanding the influence of psychosocial characteristics on a patient's prognosis and treatment response. [6]

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

Designed to help healthcare practitioners identify pain-related psychological characteristics in outpatient orthopedic settings, OSPRO-YF is a reliable and valid tool for individuals with musculoskeletal conditions.[7]

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

OSPRO-YF has 7-item, 10-item and 17-item versions developed from validated psychological questionnaires across domains associated with pain vulnerability (negative mood, fear avoidance), and resilience (positive affect/coping.)[6]

OSPRO-YF accurately estimates scores from these unidimensional psychological questionnaires:[6]

  1. Negative mood:
    • Patient  Health  Questionnaire-9  (PHQ-9)
    • State-Trait Anxiety Inventory  (STAI)
    • State-Trait  Anger   Expression   Inventory (STAXI)
  2. Fear avoidance:
    • Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire  (FABQ)
    • Pain   Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)
    • Tampa  Scale  of  Kinesiophobia-11  (TSK-11)
    • Pain  Anxiety  Symptoms  Scale-20 (PASS-20)
  3. Positive affect/Coping
    • Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ)
    • Self-Efficacy for Rehabilitation Outcome Scale (SER)
    • Chronic   Pain   Acceptance   Questionnaire  (CPAQ)

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Reliability[edit | edit source]

  • Excellent reliability (ICC values >0.9)
  • Good reliability (ICC values=0.75 to 0.9)
  • Moderate reliability (ICC values=0.5 to 0.75)
