AB1204 BURDEN DISEASE OF LOW BACK PAIN IN COLOMBIA, 2015

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is the second most frequent rheumatic disease in Colombia. According to the COPCORD study, LBP prevalence was 7.24% (CI 95% 6.28-8.34%) (1). Objectives: To estimate the disease burden of LBP for 2015. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted. A Markov model was developed based on cases with LBP, distribution of disability and mortality according to DANE (Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadistica) and the WHO (World Health Organization) reference data. The results are shown in terms of the years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD) and finally as Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY). Results: The distribution of cases by age of LBP are shown in figure 1. According to ICD-10 codes, 9 deaths were reported, so the YLL were 124. The YLDs were 264,658. Finally, the DALYs were 264,782 for a rate of 808.82 per 100,000, which is higher than the GBD 2016 results (647 per 100,000). Conclusion: The main cause of burden disease of rheumatic disease in Colombia is due to LBP. The burden is because of the YLD, related to the frequency of cases in people younger than 50 years of age. It is necessary for an early detection and development of intervention strategies.
