abstract: 'Introduction: Musculoskeletal disease (MSD) is a major cause of
disability in the global burden of disease, yet data regarding the
magnitude of this burden in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are
lacking. The Surgeons OverSeas Assessment of Surgical Need (SOSAS)
survey was designed to measure incidence and prevalence of surgically
treatable conditions, including MSD, in patients in LMICs.
Methods: A countrywide survey was done in Nepal using SOSAS in May-June
2014. Clusters were chosen based on population weighted random sampling.
Chi squared tests and multivariate logistic regression assessed
associations between demographic variables and MSD.
Results: Self-reported MSDs were seen in 14.8\% of survey respondents
with an unmet need of 60\%. The majority of MSDs (73.9\%) occurred
between 1 and 12 months prior to the survey. Female sex (OR = 0.6; p <
0.000), access to motorized transport (for secondary facility, OR =
0.714; p < 0.012), and access to a tertiary health facility (OR = 0.512;
p < 0.008) were associated with lower odds of MSD.
Discussion: Based on this study, there are approximately 2.35 million
people living with MSDs in Nepal. As the study identified
non-availability, lack of money, and fear and/or lack of trust as the
major barriers to orthopedic care in Nepal, future work should consider
interventions to address these barriers.
Conclusion: There is a need to increase surgical capacity in LMICs; in
particular, there is a need to bolster trauma and orthopedic care.
Previous studies have suggested ways to allocate resources to build
capacity. We recommend targeting the alleviation of these identified
barriers in parallel with capacity building. (C) 2016 IJS Publishing
