Pattern of lumbar disc degeneration in young adults with low back pain on 3T magnetic resonance imaging machine.
Objective: To determine the frequency and patterns of lumbar disc degeneration in young adults with low back pain.
Methods: The descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Armed Forces Institute of Radiology and Imaging, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from August 16, 2023, to February 15, 2024, and comprised patients of either gender aged 18-35 years who presented with low back pain. The participants were subjected to examination using 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging machine. Lumbar disc degeneration was noted and its patterns were assessed. Lumbar disc degeneration was graded using Pfirmann grading. Data was analysed using SPSS 25.
Results: Of the 146 patients with mean age 25.6±2.98 years, 103(70.5%) were males and 43(29.5%) were females. Lumbar disc degeneration was present in 85(58.2%) patients, and multilevel involvement was seen in 45(30.8%). The most common involvement was of L3-L4 12(8.2%), followed by L4-L5 11(7.5%). The most common lumbar disc degeneration grade was grade III 39(26.7%), followed by grade IV 25(17.1%).
Conclusions: In more than half of the young adults with low back pain, lumbar disc degeneration was present because of either single or multiple level of vertebrae involvement.
期刊介绍:
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
