  1. Cross tabulation of the number of days with LBP in the past year for survey 1 vs. survey 2 when taking non-responders into account. The table shows the proportions of people in each category in percentages (%) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) which were found in the same or in a different category of LBP duration at the 2nd survey as compared to the 1st survey.
