This study on bone and joint tuberculosis found that children and young adults, particularly females and Afghan refugees, were most affected. Malnutrition and low socioeconomic status were common among patients.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Infectious Diseases
Public Health

Background:

Bone and joint tuberculosis (BJT) is a significant global health challenge.
Understanding demographic and socioeconomic factors is crucial for BJT management.
Previous studies highlight the impact of BJT in various populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of patients with bone and joint tuberculosis.
To identify risk factors associated with BJT in a specific patient cohort.
To inform public health strategies for BJT prevention and control.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 80 diagnosed bone and joint tuberculosis cases.
Data collection from DHQ Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad (August 1987 - December 1990).

Evaluation of patient demographics, including age, sex, and refugee status.

Main Results:

Majority of patients were children and young adults.
Females constituted 57.5% of cases, while males were 42.5%.
A significant proportion of cases involved Afghan refugees; malnutrition and low socioeconomic status were prevalent.

Conclusions:

Bone and joint tuberculosis disproportionately affects young females and refugee populations.
Malnutrition and socioeconomic factors are strongly associated with BJT.
Targeted interventions are needed for vulnerable groups to combat BJT.
