Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a condition characterized by pain in the lower back and can disrupt daily activities. The most common causes of LBP are mechanical causes and degenerative processes. A plain lumbosacral X- ray examination is essential to evaluate radiological findings for LBP. The study aimed to investigate the plain lumbosacral X-ray findings for LBP and conducted their correlation with patient characteristics represented by gender, age, and BMI. This is an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional approach on patients with LBP confirmed by plain lumbosacral X-rays. The data was obtained from October 2022 to September 2023 at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia. Of the 77 eligible samples, most LBP cases were found in females (n=44;57.1%), age groups of 60 years and older (n=33;42.9%), and BMI was overweight (n=37;48.1%). The most radiographic findings for LBP were abnormal features (n=58;75.3%) and most established spondylosis (n=34;44.2%). The radiographic findings for LBP were not significantly correlated with gender, age, and BMI (p>0.05). LBP cases were more prevalent in females, age groups of 60 years and older, and BMI was overweight. The radiographic findings established more spondylosis cases and presented no significant correlation with patient characteristics.
