To investigate the prevalence, imaging features, and predictors (age and gender) of upper cervical spine degenerative joint disease (DJD).
Two oral radiologists retrospectively reviewed the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations conducted at a university-based imaging center over 1 year. They recorded the imaging findings related to the upper cervical spine (C1C2) and collected patient demographic data. Then the data of the patients with and without DJD findings in the upper cervical spine were compared.
The prevalence of upper cervical DJD was 45.6%. There were no gender-based differences in upper cervical DJD. The prevalence of upper cervical DJD increased steadily with age. There was a statistically significantly difference in the prevalence of upper cervical DJD at all the age ranges.
DJD of the upper cervical spine is a relatively common incidental finding frequently captured in CBCT scans acquired for dental purposes.
探讨上颈椎退变性关节病(DJD)的患病率、影像学特征及预测因素(年龄和性别)。
两名口腔放射科医生回顾性分析了一所大学影像中心在1年内进行的锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)检查。他们记录了与上颈椎(C1-C2)相关的影像学表现,并收集了患者的人口统计学数据。然后比较了上颈椎有和无DJD表现的患者的数据。
上颈椎DJD的患病率为45.6%。上颈椎DJD在性别上无差异。上颈椎DJD的患病率随年龄稳步上升。在所有年龄范围内,上颈椎DJD的患病率在统计学上有显著差异。
上颈椎DJD是一种相对常见的偶然发现,在为牙科目的进行的CBCT扫描中经常被捕捉到。
