“…Other studies from Bangladesh, Italy, Malaysia and Congo showed much less prevalence of SLE but females were predominant in that studies. 15,[24][25][26][27] Osteoporosis was present in 12% cases, which was lower than other studies from Nepal and Belgium 16,17 as endocrinologists manage many osteoporosis cases.…”

“…14 However, in our study, almost two-thirds of the study subjects had inflammatory joint diseases and rest of them had degenerative joint diseases, connective tissue disease and soft tissue rheumatism, this may not reflect the true prevalence in our society, as most of our patients were diagnosed cases.Therefore, there were differences in the frequency of diseases in our study and other hospital-based studies such as retrospective study from Bangladesh, Nepal, Belgium, Iranand Nigeria. [15][16][17][18] The population-based prevalence of RA is variable. 19 Worldwide its prevalence is about 1% .…”

Background: Musculoskeletal conditions are prevalent and their impact is pervasive. They are one of the most common causes of long-term pain; affect hundreds of millions of people around the world; they significantly affect the psychosocial status of the affected people as well as their families and carers. This study was done to evaluate the spectrum of rheumatologic disorders among patients attending at medicine outpatient department (OPD) with musculoskeletal symptoms. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done at OPD of Medicine, BIRDEM General Hospital from January 2014 to June 2017. All patients attending at OPD having musculoskeletal symptoms, who fulfilled criteria of definite rheumatologic disease and known rheumatologic disorders were consecutively and purposively included in this study. Results: Total patients were 495 with female predominance (71.31%). Mean age was 48.6 years (range 18-76 years). Among the study population majority had inflammatory joint and spine diseases (69.69%);then degenerative joint and spine diseases (22.02%), connective tissue diseases (2.22).Two-thirds of the patients had rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (76.23%) among inflammatory joint and spine diseases, then ankylosing spondylitis (AS) (13.33%).Regarding connective tissue disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was more frequent (45.5%). Among soft tissue rheumatism and metabolic bone disease, all study subjects had fibromyalgia (FM) and osteoporosis respectively. Rheumatoid factor was positive among two-thirds and anti-CCP antibody in twofifths of RA cases, HLA-B27 was positive in 4.3% of AS, antineuclear antibody (ANA) and anti-ds DNA were positive in all SLE patients. Common co-morbidities were diebetes (41.4%), ischaemic heart disease (20.6%) and hypertension (19.1%). Conclusion: RA was the most common inflammatory joint disease. Degenerative diseases were the second most common condition. Common connective tissue disease was SLE. Birdem Med J 2021; 11(2): 116-120

Nepal is a small country that is landlocked between India and China. Several ethnic groups live within the 147,181 km(2) of this country. Geographic diversity ranges from the high Himalayas to the flatlands of the Ganges plains. Lupus nephritis (LN), a complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is a common kidney problem in Nepal; but the real incidence and prevalence of SLE in Nepal is largely not known. Here, it more commonly affects people (mostly women) living in the southern flatlands, but SLE is reported to be uncommon further south in India. Even though the disease appears to be common, good quality research is uncommon in Nepali literature. This article was written to provide a review of the articles published to date about SLE in Nepal and to discuss the gaps in knowledge that require further evaluation.

“…Degenerative joint disease (DJD) included osteoarthritis knees (33.67%, 12.66%), lumbar spondylosis (23%, 17.33%), cervical spondylosis (14%,13.66%) in both groups comprised the major bulk of problems among patients with MSK problems which supports other studies. 12,13 In diabetic group 20% patient were of frozen shoulder and in non-diabetic it was 5.66%. Ray et al 14 studied 100 diabetic patients and found 18% patients had frozen shoulder which supports our study.…”
