| dc.description.abstract | Background: Cervical spondylosis is a comprehensive term that describes age-related chronic degenerative diseases that result in neck pain, tingling in the arms, and possible myelopathic-associated paralysis. Methods and Materials: The study was conducted at the Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH) neurology and rheumatology clinic from May 1, 2022, to December 30, 2022. A 2-year retrospective hospital-based design was implemented. The source population was all spondylosis patients. The study population was all cervical spondylosis patients with complete clinical and imaging data from January 2020 to January 2022, and a total of 339 were selected randomly. Data was collected using the Open Data Kit and the internet-based Kobo Toolbox and analyzed using SPSS version 26. Mean, median, and standard deviation for continuous data and a frequency table for categorical data A bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to see the association between dependent and independent variables. Statistical significance was considered at a level of 5% significance and an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% CI. Result: During the study period, 2176 degenerative spinal disease patients were diagnosed. Of these, the medical records of 339 cases were taken using simple random sampling. Among study participants, 189 (55.8%) were female and 150 (44.2%) were male. The mean age of patients was 54.9 years, with an SD of 10.044. The prevalence of cervical spondylosis was 97 (28.5%), which is the second most common next to lumbar spondylosis (199.5%). 40 (11.8%) had both cervical and lumbar spondylosis, and 3 (0.9%) had thoracic spondylosis. The odds of having cervical spondylosis among females were higher with an AOR of 2.959 (CI: 1.445–6.060; p =.003), and the age group between 40 and 59 was also higher with an AOR of 2.011 (CI: 1.164–6.240; p =.000); smokers with an AOR of 2.02 (CI: 1.843–11.0242; p =.008); and current alcohol intake with an AOR of 2.83 (CI: 1.520–6.0) Conclusion: The prevalence of cervical spondylosis (CS) was relatively high compared to the reported literature. In Korea, Bangladesh (Punjab), India (population), China, Nigeria, and Sweden, the prevalence was: 47.8, 47, 17.2, 13.8; 10.7; and 0.035 percent, respectively. The risk of CS increases with age in both sexes, and females were once mostly affected by cervical spondylosis. | |
