- Abstract
Background: There are no specific radiological findings for the diagnosis of sacroiliac joint-related pain. A diagnostic scoring system had been developed in 2017. The score comprised the sum of scores of six items. The score ranged from 0 to 9 points, and the cutoff was calculated as 4. Objective: To evaluate the validity of the diagnostic scoring system for sacroiliac joint-related pain. Patients and methods: The sacroiliac joint-related pain group (n=31) comprised patients diagnosed with sacroiliac joint-related pain based on patient history, physical findings, and responses to analgesic periarticular injection. In addition, it was confirmed that they had no other lumbar or hip joint diseases. The non-sacroiliac joint-related pain group (n=123) comprised patients with low back pain due to a reason other than sacroiliac joint-related pain. We evaluated scores for all subjects. We analyzed the differences in each item between both groups and performed receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis to evaluate the score validity. Results: There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between groups. There were significant differences for the following four of six items: one-finger test results (P
