Abstract
BackgroundIn the original Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 1990, there was minimal involvement of clinical experts. By contrast, it was a key focus for GBD Study 2010 to explicitly engage a large and diverse group of experts. From the outset, the extent of the work involved from both the expert groups and the core team was a big unknown. Our aim is to reflect on the experiences of the Musculoskeletal Disorders and Risk Factors Expert Group (MSK EG), led by Professor Lyn March at University of Sydney, and to make constructive suggestions to the Core Team for future studies.
