Inflammatory back pain (IBP) is a relatively recent and well-accepted concept whose precise definition remains elusive. The definition of IBP varies by criteria set, as does its sensitivity and specificity regarding screening and case ascertainment in various clinical or epidemiologic settings. This article reviews the history of efforts to define IBP, particularly the criteria sets that have been built around its measurement, describes assessment of IBP in the clinical setting, and illustrates how IBP has been used in epidemiologic and clinical research.
炎症性背痛(IBP)是一个相对较新且被广泛接受的概念,但其确切定义仍难以捉摸。IBP 的定义因设定的标准而异,其在各种临床或流行病学环境中的筛查和病例确定的敏感性和特异性也因标准而异。本文回顾了定义 IBP 的努力的历史,特别是围绕其测量建立的标准集,描述了临床环境中 IBP 的评估,并说明了 IBP 在流行病学和临床研究中的应用。
