Back Pain Risk factors and probability of Fracture or Malignancy[1]
| Factor | Post Test Probability (95%CI) |
| Older Age (>65yo) | 9% (3-25%) |
| Prolonged corticosteroid | 33% (10-67%) |
| Severe trauma | 11% (8-16%) |
| Presence of contusion or abrasion | 62% (49-74%) |
| Multiple red flags | 90% (34-99%) |
| History of malignancy | 33% (22-46%) |
Red Flag Symptoms of Low Back Pain [2]
| Symptoms | Corresponding Pathology |
|---|---|
| Age under 18 years | Congenital abnormality |
| Age over 50 years | Fracture, malignancy |

| Immunocompromised | Fracture, infection |
| IV drug use | Infection |
| Recent spinal surgery or epidural injection | Infection, spinal hematoma |
| Trauma | Fracture, spinal hematoma |
