Abstract

Aim

The aim of this study were to introduce a profile of a nationwide cohort for patients with neck pain and to identify the patterns of recurrent neck pain over time.

Methods

Health insurance data for 1,127,323 patients (43.5 ± 11.5 years, 60.8% females) with neck pain in 2010 were extracted from the National Health Information Database of South Korea. Data on the duration and frequency of neck pain and the number of healthcare visits recorded between 2002 and 2018 were screened and used for descriptive analysis.

Results

During the study period, patients experienced 4.1 episodes of neck pain, and 74% of patients experienced multiple episodes. The duration of one episode was 12.1 ± 35.7 days. Following each episode, more than 73% of patients experienced a subsequent episode of neck pain. As patients experienced more episodes, the recurrence rate increased gradually from 73% to 80%, and subsequent episodes occurred in a shorter time and lasted longer with a higher number of healthcare visits, compared to a preceding episode.

Conclusion

The study highlighted the dynamic pattern of interfering neck pain, with episodes occurring more frequently and lasting longer over time. Early intensive management with a long-term follow-up is recommended to prevent a dynamic pattern of interfering neck pain.

一项为期十七年的基于人口的研究，旨在确定韩国干扰性颈部疼痛及其负担的动态模式

方法从韩国国家健康信息数据库中提取了2010年1,127,323名颈部疼痛患者（43.5±11.5岁，60.8%为女性）的健康保险数据。筛选了 2002 年至 2018 年期间记录的颈部疼痛持续时间和频率以及就医次数的数据，并将其用于描述性分析。结果在研究期间，患者颈部疼痛的发作次数为 4.1 次，74% 的患者经历了多次发作。一次发作的持续时间为（12.1 ± 35.7）天。每次发作后，超过 73% 的患者会再次出现颈部疼痛。随着患者发作次数的增加，复发率也从 73% 逐渐增加到 80%，与前一次发作相比，后一次发作的时间更短，持续时间更长，就诊次数也更多。建议尽早进行强化治疗，并进行长期随访，以防止出现动态干扰性颈部疼痛。
