Abstract

V originále

Aim: This article analyzes the tendency of reported dorsopathies (dorsalgias and intervertebral discs) of the lumbar region in the general population of the Czech Republic. Methods: Retrospective analysis of data from health registries of the Czech Republic. The participants in the research were individuals who were diagnosed with dorsalgias (MKN codes M54.1, M54.4, M54.5) or with intervertebral disc diseases (ICD codes M51.0, M51.1) in the period from 2010 to 2018. We studied the total number of cases, and the number of hospital admissions and outpatient treatments. The numbers of patients were divided according to sex, age categories and the regions of the patients' place of residence, adjusted per 100,000 citizens of the respective age group or region. Results: The total number of patients with dorsalgia and intervertebral disc disease showed a growing tendency. The increase in the number of patients with back problems did not manifest itself in the number of hospitalizations. The treatment is transferred to the outpatient sector, and the number of outpatient contacts in patients suffering from backache has been growing over the last eight years. Conclusions: During the analysis we found out that the number of persons suffering from lower back pain in the general population in the Czech Republic was increasing; the care for persons with proved diagnoses of dorsalgia and intervertebral discs diseases is transferring from hospital treatment to outpatient care; and the relations between the occurrence of back pain and a specific profession may not be found in the national health registries.
