Aim: To compare the hematological parameters associated with systemic inflammation between acute and subacute/chronic nonspecific low back pain and to evaluate their diagnostic roles in relation to chronicity in low back pain. Materials & methods: This retrospective case–control study included 150 participants aged 18–65 years with acute nonspecific low back pain, 150 with subacute/chronic nonspecific low back pain, 150 as the control group. Results: Red cell distribution width was significantly higher in the subacute/chronic pain group compared with the acute pain group (p = 0.003), and had a poor diagnostic value for chronicity (Cutoff: 11.95, p = 0.003). There were no significant differences in terms of other parameters (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Red cell distribution width has a poor diagnostic value for chronicity in nonspecific low back pain.

Precise Diagnosis

Patients with low back pain (LBP) frequently undergo various imaging studies in the pursuit of a more precise diagnosis. Ultrasound (US) has the advantage of being a widely available, multiplanar, fast and radiation-free diagnostic tool. Moreover, compared to most of the other imaging modalities, it is particularly efficient in the visualization and assessment of soft tissues. Consequently, the question about the possible diagnostic application of US in such a common pathology as LBP is very relevant to the clinical practice. For this reason, we performed a review of the literature on the diagnostic value of US in differentconditions that could cause LBP. We hereby discuss available studies on the diagnostic application of US in spinal canal stenosis and disc herniation (probably of historical significance only), as well as in the pathology of soft tissue structures like the lumbar and pelvic ligaments, muscles and entheses, the thoracolumbar fascia and the sacroiliac joints (maybe of greater importance nowadays). The evidence for the diagnostic value of US is not equivocal, though promising for some of the causative conditions, and clearly this area remains open to further research.
