Cohort study analyzes treatment trajectories in musculoskeletal disorders, indicating varied healthcare usage based on education and origin.
Using nationwide register data and group-based multi-trajectory modelling show that about 75% of all patients with MSD, consulting primary healthcare in Norway, were classified as low users of healthcare services and 5% were classified as high users. Overall, both education and country of origin were associated with the treatment trajectory classes. However, high use was not associated with neither education nor country of origin.
