text: Conclusion: In those completing follow up measures, risk of additional pain-related healthcare utilization after physical 
  therapy was best predicted by baseline characteristics and 4-week treatment response variables for pain intensity, disability 
  and pain-related psychological distress. These findings suggest treatment monitoring of specific response variables could 
  enhance identification of those at risk for future healthcare utilization in addition to baseline assessment. Further study is 
  required to determine how specific characteristics of the clinical encounter influence future utilization.
