OyewoleAbstract : Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as low back pain (LBP), cervical spondylosis (CSPD), sprain, osteoarthritis(OA), and post immobilization stiffness (PIS) have a major impact on individuals, health systems and society in terms ofmorbidity, long-term disability, and economics. This study estimated the direct and indirect costs of common MSDs in OsunState, Nigeria. A review of medical charts for adult patients attending Physiotherapy Outpatient Clinic at the Obafemi AwolowoUniversity Teaching Hospitals Complex, Osun State, Nigeria between 2009 and 2018 was carried out. The occupational class ofthe patients was determined using the International Labour Classification (ILO). The direct and indirect costs were estimatedusing a  cost-of-illness  approach.  Physiotherapy related health  resource use,  and costs  of  the  common MSDs,  includingconsultation fee, total fee charge per session, costs of consumables were estimated. Data were summarised using descriptivestatistics mean and standard deviation (SD). Overall, 1582 (Male = 47.5%, Female = 52.5%) patients with MSDs populationwith a mean age of 47.8 ± 25.7 years participated in this study. The mean (SD) direct costs estimate for LBP, CSPD, PIS,sprain, OA, and other conditions were $18.35 ($17.33), $34.76 ($17.33), $32.13 ($28.37), $35.14 ($44.16), $37.19 ($41.68), and$15.74 ($13.96), respectively. The mean (SD) indirect costs estimate of LBP, CSPD, PIS, sprain, OA, and other MSD conditionswere $73.42 ($43.54), $140.57 ($69.31), $128.52 ($113.46), sprain $140.57 ($69.31), $148.77 ($166.71), and $62.98 ($55.84),respectively. Musculoskeletal disorders contribute a substantial economic burden to individuals with the condition and society.The unacceptable economic loss of MSDs should be reduced using appropriate strategies. Further research is required todetermine the clinical and cost effectiveness of strategies to improve health outcomes of patients with MSDs. The findings ofthe present study may assist health policy and decision makers to understand the economic burden of MSDs and facilitateefficient allocation of healthcare resources to alleviate the burden associated with these conditions in Nigeria.Keywords : economic burden, low back pain, musculoskeletal disorders, real-worldConference Title : ICHEP 2019 : International Conference on Health Economics and PolicyConference Location : Sydney, AustraliaConference Dates : February 27-28, 2020World Academy of Science, Engineering and TechnologyInternational Journal of Medical and Health SciencesVol:13, No:02, 2019Open Science Index, Medical and Health Sciences Vol:13, No:02, 2019 publications.waset.org/abstracts/112162/pdfISNI:0000000091950263International Scholarly and Scientific Research & Innovation 13(02) 2019 1
