Study summary

retrospective cross sectional study Study Setting: Cases will be recruited from the recorded data system at the department of diagnostic radiology, Assiut University.

Read the detailed description

  • Study subjects:

    1. Inclusion criteria:

      • All patients underwent MSCT KUB from 2022 till 2023
      • Age between 20-50 years old

    2. Exclusion criteria:

      • All cases below 20 and above 50 .
      • previous history of lumbar spine surgery;
      • non-degenerative pathologies in the lumbar spine which could interrupt the evaluation of lumbar spine degeneration, including spinal tumors, infections, and traumatic fractures;
      • images with poor quality

    3. Sample Size Calculation:

      The study will include all patients underwent KUB CT in Assuit university hospital.

      Objective of this research study will be accomplished through the following consecutive steps:

  • Patient Enrolment and sample collection:

Sample are patients underwent MSCT KUB at our hospital , ASSUIT university at one year. Lumbosacral spine will be assessed for LSTV ,the patient images will be divided into two groups ,one which has LSTV as cases and other group with normal spine as control. both groups will be assessed for associated disc degeneration ,facet arthropathy sacroiliac joint degeneration ,paravertebral muscle volume and will be compared with control.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. prevalence

    prevalence of LSTV among egyptians

    Time frame: one year

Secondary outcomes

  1. correlation of LSTV with lumbar disc degeneration

    association between LSTV and disc height ,segmental disc wedge angle and degree of disc prolapse(mild ,moderate ,severe)

    Time frame: one year

  2. correlation of LSTV with facet joint arthropathy

    fact joint arthropathy will be assessed as unilateral ,bilateral and its degree(mild ,moderate ,severe)

    Time frame: one year

  3. correlation of LSTV with sacroiliac degeneration

    sacroiliac joint will be assessed as unilateral ,bilateral and degree (mild ,moderate ,severe)

    Time frame: one year

  4. correlation of LSTV with paravertebral muscle volume

    bilateral psoas muscle volume in cubic centimeter

    Time frame: one year
