ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL Thursday, August 21, 1986 D13 Back Pain Woes Cost Nation THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO Low back pain, from the common ache to rare episodes such as narrowing of the spine, will strike one of five adults this year and could cost the nation more than $81 billion, experts say. And that only hints at the magnitude of the problem under discussion as 300 orthopedists, neurosurgeons, radiologists and other practitioners from 25 countries gather for a week of meetings. "There is no question that low back pain as a subject for the medical community, the government and the public to consider is on the rise," said Dr. Jennifer Kelsey, a professor of public health at Columbia University. "Economics and an increasing concern about the quality of life have made it that," she added.

The American Orthopedic Association chose low back pain as its topic for this year's annual session to develop "leaner, tougher, more-bop-for-the-dollar" THE WEATHER REPORT. methods of dealing with the problem, said chairman Dr. William Kane. "The days when the patients and the doctors did what they wanted and handed the bill to some third party are over," said Kane. "The government, the insurers, the employers and the patients are pushing us to higher ground." Low back pain, the leading cause of disability among American workers, accounts for about 25 percent of all disability claims, federal figures show.

One in five adults complains of low back pain each year, and time lost from work because of such pain averages nearly two days a year for each American worker, according to research by Kelsey and Dr. Gunnar Anderson of Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago. They also found four of every five Americans will suffer at least one episode between the ages of 20 and 60. For 75 percent of those, the pain will end after one week; for 90 percent it will end in two weeks.

About 25 percent of the people treated for low back pain account for 90 percent of the medical costs.

Add in lost wages, lost productivity and other expenses and the total cost of low back pain is $81.7 billion annually, according to Dr. Bernard Jacobs, chief of the spine service at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. However, Jacobs estimated 20 percent of patients making their first visit to a doctor because of low back pain have chosen the malady to mask a psychological condition. That figure rises to 50 percent for those who continue treatment for three months without success, and to 80 percent for chronic sufferers, or those who continue to have problems after corrective surgery, Jacobs said.

Accordingly, much of the medical effort. in recent years has been directed at improving diagnostic skills, with orthopedists routinely employing highly accurate scanning equipment previously used in brain surgery and other disciplines. While some of the debates are reminiscent of past years whether to fuse vertebrae or replace them, whether to operate or not some doctors are also beginning to emphasize drug therapies to get at underlying psychological causes of such pain.

"Within the next decade, all this will change dramatically," said Dr. Alf Nachemson, chairman of the department of orthopedic surgery at the University of Goteborg in Sweden. "Our diagnostic skills will be good enough so that we will be able to separate the Our treatment programs will be to send people with no physical indications to training and then back to work."

Jazz Trumpeter Thad Jones Beverly Services Dies; Composer, Arranger APS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Thad Jones, the jazz trumpeter, composer and arranger who toured with U.S. big bands and wrote music for European orchestras, died Wednesday, his publicist said. He was 63. Jones worked up to the time his cancer was diagnosed four months ago and died in Copenhagen, Denmark, said his publicist, Devra Hall.

Jones' sometimes intricate compositions for big bands were widely performed by high school and college stage bands as well as the professional ensembles he worked with. Jones, acclaimed as a soloist with Count Basie's orchestra, is bestknown for his work with the band he co-led with drummer Mel Lewis band during the 1960s and early 1970s. "He proved that composing and arranging for a big band could be contemporary," said Art Lange, editor of Downbeat magazine. "Lewis and Jones put together a cooperative band that played at the Village Vanguard in New York on otherwise dark Monday nights," Lange said. "The music got SO strong that the players wanted to stay with the band even though they had other, sometimes betterpaying, gigs." Jones turned leadership of the band over the Lewis in the late 1970s and moved to Denmark, where he composed and arranged music for the Danish Radio Orchestra.

He occasionally performed in Europe as well, Ms. Hall said. Before he was hospitalized, he was working on pieces commissioned by the Swedish symphony and the Danish Radio Orchestra. Jones began his career in music in his native Pontiac, in the late 1930s, performing with his brothers, pianist Hank Jones and drummer Elvin Jones. After a stint in the Army, he formed his own band in Oklahoma City and also performed with Billy Mitchell in Detroit and toured with the Larry Steele Revue.

He joined Basie's well known orchestra in 1954 and made a name as a sideman and soloist, staying with Basie until 1963. He came back to lead the band in 1985, after Basie's death, and returned to Europe in February, after that contract expired, Ms. Hall said. In addition to Basie, Jones recorded with saxophonist Sonny Stitt and pianist Thelonius Monk.
