| Resumo: | Background: Preliminary research suggests post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a
risk factor for chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, this literature displays some limitations.
Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between PTSD and the 10-year cumulative
incidence of CLBP in adults from Germany. Methods: The present retrospective cohort study included
adults diagnosed with PTSD in 1 of 1284 general practices in Germany in 2005–2020 (index date).
Individuals without PTSD were matched to those with PTSD (1:1) using a propensity score based on
age, sex, index year, duration of follow-up, and the mean number of consultations during followup.
In patients without PTSD, the index date was a randomly selected visit date. Results: There
were 60,664 patients included in the study. After adjusting for frequent comorbidities, there was a
positive but non-significant association between PTSD and incident CLBP in the overall population
(HR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.99–1.15). Nonetheless, the relationship between PTSD and CLBP was
statistically significant in the age group >60 years (HR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.05–1.46). Conclusions:
Conversely to previous research, PTSD was not associated with incident CLBP in this large German
sample. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to corroborate these findings before drawing any
firm conclusions. |
