Abstract

Objective: to define the rate and nature of lower back pain (LBP) in outpatients seeking medical care at Republican Hospital One — National Center of Medicine in Yakutsk. Subjects and methods. A total of 1072 patients (343 (32%) males (mean age 44.9+14.9 years) and 729 (68%) females (mean age 49.8+12.2 years)) seeking medical assistance were asked using questionnaires. Results. Out of the 1072 respondents, 415 patients complained about LBP. Twenty-seven patients were found to have probable specific diseases and 47 had nerve root pains. LBP was chronic in 341 of the 415 patients. Conclusion. LBP is a common reason for patients seeking outpatient care. In the majority of cases, they sought medical assistance for chronic nonspecific pain.
