dc.description.abstractBackground/objectiveAlthough a number of studies report an important effect of smoking on disc degeneration and herniation, others did not identify such a relationship. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of lumbar disc degeneration with hemoglobin value and smoking.Methods The study included 200 adult patients who presented to the neurosurgery polyclinic with a complaint of back pain. Smoking habits were classified as “smoking for more than 10 years”, “smoking for less than 10 years”, and “not smoking”. Lumbar disc degeneration was classified on modified Pfirrmann score according to lumbar MR images. Degeneration level was compared according to smoking group on Kruskal-Wallis test. The relationship between hemoglobin value and disc degeneration according to smoking group was assessed on the Spearman correlation coefficient. ResultsDisc degeneration values were significantly different between groups in L5-S1, L4-L5 and L3-L4 (P = 0.018, P = 0.012, P = 0.038). Degeneration levels in L5-S1 in those who did not smoke were significantly lower than in those who smoked for both less and more than 10 years (P = 0.048, P = 0.022). No significant differences were found in degeneration level between those who smoked for more versus less than 10 years. For L3-L4 degeneration, there was a significant relationship with hemoglobin value in the group that did not smoke and in the group that smoked for more than 10 years r = ?0.395; P = 0.009, r = 0.329; P = 0.018).ConclusionThis study found that, when risk factors such as systemic disease, heavy working conditions, obesity, trauma and family history were excluded, smoking increased lumbar disc degeneration. In addition, chronic smoking was found to increase hemoglobin values.
