OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation among age, disc morphology, positive discography, and prognosis in @entity1 with @entity1643 . METHODS: A total of 183 intervertebral discs in 72 @entity1 with @entity1643 were studied. Discography was performed using a pressure-controlled manometric technique. The @entity158 reaction during discography at each level was recorded as follows: no @entity158 , dissimilar @entity158 , similar @entity158 , or @entity158 . Discs with similar or @entity158 were classified as positive. All the examined discs were assessed morphologically using axial computed tomography imaging. The grade of @entity528 and annular disruption of the discs were assessed according to the Dallas discogram description (DDD). Intradiscal injection of @entity479 was tried for @entity1 with symptomatic disc identified during provocative discography and who did not consent to surgical operation. RESULTS: There was a higher correlation between @entity528 and age, as compared with annular disruption and age. Higher @entity528 and annular disruption grades had higher positive rates of discography. However, annular disruption alone was independently associated with positive discography. Age and grade of @entity528 did not affect the prognosis. CONCLUSION: The grade of @entity528 was associated with age, but it was not correlated with positive discography and prognosis. In addition, high grade of annular disruption correlated with positive discography.
