UNLABELLED: The study was conducted to establish the association of Schmorl's nodes and osteoporosis in a Middle Eastern cohort. The prevalence of SN in this sample was 41.1%. It was most frequent in the lumbar spine typically solitary central lesions. Over 88% Schmorl's node cases were osteoporotic/osteopenic and only 11.6% normal.
INTRODUCTION: This study aims to identify the prevalence of Schmorl's nodes (SNs) in a cohort of Omani nationals, and also to determine any relation between osteoporosis and Schmorl's nodes.
METHODS: This retrospective observational study was conducted on Omani nationals. One thousand three hundred and forty-eight DEXA scan patients were included. Of these, 545 patients had complete X-rays and MRI scans that would help determine the SN status. The X-rays and sagittal, coronal, and axial T2-weighted MR images were used to identify the presence and exact location of the Schmorl nodes by one orthopedic trainee and confirmed by the senior author. The correlation of each parameter with the presence of SN was analyzed by the independent-samples T test and one-way ANOVA.
RESULTS: The overall prevalence of SN in this population sample appeared to be 41.1%. Over 88% of the SN-positive cases were either osteopenic or frankly osteoporotic by the WHO definition. Vast majority of SNs (87.1%) occurred in the lumbar spine and were central in location and mostly solitary. Statistical analysis of the data revealed significant correlation between osteopenia or osteoporosis and the presence of SNs.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of SN in the sample of Omanis studied was 41.1% and was most frequently seen in older men in the lumbar spine. It is strongly associated with osteoporosis/osteopenia (88.4%) and frequently presents as solitary central lesions.
