TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Do "whiplash" victims with neck pain differ from those with neck pain and other symptoms? JO - Annual proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine A1 - Tencer, A. F. A1 - Mirza, Shirin A1 - Cummings, P. SP - 203 EP - 214 VL - 45 IS - N2 - Studying 432 patients with "whiplash" neck pain after a low speed rear-end crash, we determined whether those who reported associated symptoms (arm or low back pain) differed from those with neck pain only. Exposure variables were: age, gender, height, weight, surprised by impact, rotated position of the head, and pre-existing cervical or lumbar spinal degeneration. Immediate symptoms were considered. Odds ratios (OR) were derived from logistic regression. Only pre-existing lumbar spinal degeneration was associated with having arm symptoms (OR = 9.6, CI = 1.1, 83.6) or low back pain (OR = 23.3, CI = 2.6, 206.7) along with neck pain.
