Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) has been a complex disorder resulted from genetic and environmental risk factors. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with IVDD in orthopaedic patients and develop a prediction model for predicting the risk of IVDD. A total of 309...
