Lowback and back pain arealso an important health problems in terms of low quality of life, cost of labor loss, diagnosis and treatment approaches. The aim of this study was to investigate the deficiency of vitamin D in patients with complaints of lowback or back pain.Methods: The outpatients between 18-45 years of age, whose vitamin D levelsaremeasured in 2015, were scanned through the hospital information system. Serum 25-(OH) D levels below 20 ng/mL wereconsidered as vitamin D deficiency, 20 ng / mL and above were normal.Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of pain. The patients who were with lowback or back pain were treated as group 1, and patients who did not complain pain as group 2. Group 1 and group 2 were compared in terms of the presence of vitamin D deficiency. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation for continuous variables, and number and percentage for categorical data were used. Chi-square test was used for comparisons. Significance was assessed at a 95% safety interval and p <0.05 was considered as significant.Results: Vitamin D levels were measured in 28,148 of the patients between the ages of 18 and 45 who applied to our hospital during the study period. Vitamin D deficiency was 84.5% in group 1 patients whereas it was 75.7% in group 2 patients. A statistically significant difference was found in patients with lowback or back pains, with a higher incidence of vitamin D deficiency compared to the other group (p = 0.001).Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency is often asymptomatic and may cause bone and muscle pain. In our study, we frequently observed deficiency of vitamin D in patients with lumbar or back pain. In this context, the level of vitamin D should be evaluated during the approach to lowback and back pain. CR - 1. Champe PC, Harvey RA, Ferrier DR. Biyokimya. Çeviri Editörü: Ulukaya E.
