Low back pain prevalence and risk factors among health workers in Saudi Arabia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: The results of this review indicate that LBP is highly prevalent among health workers in Saudi Arabia when compared with international rates. Proper prophylactic measures are necessary to reduce LBP and minimize its consequences. Further high-quality research is needed in different Saudi regions to achieve a broader understanding of LBP prevalence and causes. PMID: 32710807 [PubMed - in process]
