The prevalence of inflammatory back pain was 6.7% as reported by physiotherapists, with 3% confirmed by rheumatologists. The prevalence of radiographic axial Spondyloarthritis was 1%.
Aims To determine the prevalence of inflammatory back pain (IBP) and radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) in a semi-urban community of Lahore, Pakistan. Methods This cross-sectional household survey was designed as per the Community Oriented Program for the Control of Rheumatic Diseases (COPCORD) model. In Phase 1, the subjects were interviewed for musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in the last 7 days by clinical assistants. In Phase 2, physiotherapists identified subjects with spinal/back pain and interviewed for Assessment in Spondyloarthritis International Working Group (ASAS) criteria for IBP. In Phase 3 subjects having IBP or chronic back pain (CBP) with an age at onset <= 45 years, were assessed and further investigated. Results A total of 4922 subjects with a mean age of 35.3 +/- 14.5 years, including 2770 (56%) women were surveyed in Phase 1. MSK pain in last 7 days was reported by 1407 (28.6%) of whom 1034 (21%) had spinal pain. The ASAS criteria for IBP were met in 329 (6.7%, 95% CI 6.0-7.0). In Phase 3, 222 with IBP and 83 having CBP with age at onset <= 45 years were evaluated. Out of this total of 305, 144 (2.9%) were confirmed to have IBP by rheumatologists as per at least 1 of the 3 criteria. ASAS criteria were met in 107 (2.2%, 95% CI 1.8-2.6). ASAS criteria for radiographic axial SpA were met in 47 (1%, 95% CI 0.7-1.3) of the surveyed population. Conclusion Inflammatory back pain was reported in 6.7% by physiotherapists, confirmed in 3% by rheumatologists. The prevalence of radiographic axial SpA was 1%.
