Risk factors of iliac region pain among the patients who had sacroiliac joint problems

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify the Risk factors of iliac region pain among the patient who had sacroiliac joint problems. Objectives: To find out the risk factors associated with development of low back pain or iliac region pain ; to explore the socio-demographic information of the affected group; to determine vulnerable age group of iliac region pain; to assemble the association between iliac region pain and possible exposure (previous back injury, working posture, BMI, Referred pain, Sacroiliac joint problems and disability of life). Methodology: A hospital based unmatched (1:1) case-control study was carried out to complete the objectives of the study. 25 participants with LBP were identified from musculoskeletal unit of CRP as case and another 25 people were selected as control. The data was collected by using a structural questionnaire by face to face interview. Data were analyzed through SPSS 26 version. Results: The mean age of 50 participants was 41.86 (±15.87). The mean age for case was 45.20 (±15.54) and control was 37.76 (±15.93). Highest frequency (n=10) of the age range was 31-70 years among the case. A total 36% respondent was male and 64% was female. Among the affected participants 28% were male and 72% were female. 40% cases and 32% control were from rural area. The factors significantly associated with the development of iliac region pain were Referred pain (OR 9.545; 95% CI, 2.265,40.220), previous fracture in SI joint (OR 4.654; 95% CI, 1.22,17.668), BMI (OR 3.017; 95% CI, 0.952,9.560), Improving pain (OR 1.153; 95% CI, 1.017,1.388) and current problem going on( OR 9.457; 95% CI 2.245,38.668). Conclusion: The result of the study demonstrates that life style factor and other exposure are associated with the occurrence of iliac region pain. It is important to take comprehensive preventive measures to address a range of work and life conditions that can be improved to decrease the incidence of iliac region pain.
