Abstract：
Sociodemographic characteristics are related to low back pain (LBP) outcomes, therefore diverse representation is important when appraising clinical trials. We investigated the reporting of participant sociodemographic variables in trials informing the American College of Physicians (ACP) guidelines for the treatment of LBP.
Clinical trials supporting recommended interventions in the ACP guidelines were reviewed for reporting of participant sociodemographic data.
Of 116 trials, 34 reported participant race and/or ethnicity. Education level, income level, and employment status were reported in 24, 10, and 31 trials, respectively; insurance coverage, marital status, and religion were reported in three, 16, and two trials, respectively. Two trials reported on duration or location of residence. Language comprehension was the most frequent exclusion criterion.
Insufficient sociodemographic data exist in trials informing the ACP guidelines for the treatment of LBP. Investigators of LBP interventions should recruit diverse study participants and report comprehensive sociodemographic data.

摘要：
背景：社会人口统计学特征与下腰痛（LBP）结局有关，因此，在评估临床试验时，多样化的代表性很重要。我们调查了纳入美国内科医师学会（ACP）治疗LBP指南的试验中参与者社会人口统计学变量的报告。
方法：对支持ACP指南中推荐干预措施的临床试验进行审查，以报告参与者的社会人口统计学数据。
结果：在116项试验中，34人报告了参与者的种族和/或种族。教育水平,收入水平,在24、10和31项试验中报告了就业状况，分别是；保险范围，婚姻状况,宗教被报道在三个，16，和两次试验，分别。两项试验报告了居住时间或地点。语言理解是最常见的排斥标准。
结论：告知ACP治疗LBP指南的试验存在不足的社会人口统计学数据。LBP干预研究人员应招募不同的研究参与者，并报告全面的社会人口统计学数据。
