Abstract

Background: Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) is a pathological condition characterized by narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back. In Indonesia, comprehensive data on LSS is currently unavailable. This study aimed to determine the profile of LSS patients at Dr. M. Djamil Central Public Hospital. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study utilized medical record data from 122 LSS patients at Dr. M. Djamil Central Public Hospital between 2018 and 2022, selected via consecutive sampling. Inclusion criteria included age over 18 years and a confirmed LSS diagnosis. Exclusion criteria included incomplete medical records, lack of MRI results, and follow-up visits without treatment. Univariate analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 to describe patient characteristics, causative factors, symptoms, location of stenosis, and management type. Results: In this study, 122 samples met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. LSS was mainly found in patients aged 60-69 years (33.6%) and in women (59%). Most LSS patients had obesity (BMI category I, 32%). Many LSS patients were housewives (42.62%) and reported light work activity (63.1%). The most common cause of LSS was degenerative factors (59%). The main symptom experienced by LSS patients was lower back pain (94.3%), frequently accompanied by radicular pain (79.5%). The most common location of stenosis was L4-L5 (43.4%). Most LSS patients in this study were managed both conservatively and operatively (70.5%). Conclusion: These findings contribute to a better understanding of LSS prevalence and distribution among patients. Further multicenter studies are needed to establish a comprehensive national LSS profile.

Abstract

Background: Vertebral fracture is one of the traumas that results in the highest rates of disability and death. Vertebral fractures can occur in various regions, but more than 50% of cases occur in the thoracolumbar region T10-L2. This can be caused by several factors, such as age, gender, and BMI. More than 30% of patients have symptoms of chronic back pain accompanied by neurological deficits. This study discussed the characteristics of patients with thoracolumbar fractures at Dr. M. Djamil Padang Central General Hospital. Methods: This research is an observational descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Research data were obtained from patient medical records, and the total inclusion sample is 139 patients with thoracolumbar fracture at Dr. M. Djamil Padang Central General Hospital in the 2018-2022 period. The data were processed and displayed as frequency distributions. Results: This research showed that the incidence of thoracolumbar fractures is found in 72 patients, with 72 being women. Mainly occurred between 15-64 years of age (73.4%), with 61.2% of cases caused by low energy trauma. As many as 62.6% of the patients received conservative management accompanied by surgery. Conclusion: This study concluded that thoracolumbar fractures often occur in women of reproductive age. The most common etiology is a fall from a height of less than three meters.
