BACKGROUND: Myopathies constitute a heterogeneous group of diseases affecting skeletal muscle with important impact on quality of life. The early identification of the etiology allows an adequate management of the patient; however, there are no studies of global frequency in our environment, most of them focusing on a specific type or subtypes of myopathies. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of myopathies in the Doctor Balmis General Hospital of Alicante and thus to know the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients in our Health Department. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective observational study of 136 patients with a coded diagnosis of myopathy in the Alicante Health Department was carried out. Medical records were reviewed and demographic (age and sex), clinical (clinical onset, typical clinic, results of complementary tests), genetic and morbi-mortality (cardio-respiratory involvement and mortality) variables were collected. Data were analyzed using R and SPSS statistical software. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of myopathies in the department of HGUDB was 47,05 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI: 39,52 -55,98). The prevalence was significantly higher in the genetic myopathy group (27,45/100,000 population) compared to the other subgroups. The mean age of the cases was 51,86 ± 17,1 years without showing predominance by either sex (48,5% males and 51,5% females). We observed 58,33% of the cases of genetic etiology, 9,85% of acquired cause and 31,8% of unknown cause. Molecular studies showed alterations in 70,41% of the cases and we obtained previously undescribed pathogenic variants in the SMCHD1 and FLNC genes. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of myopathies in HGUDB is somewhat higher than expected in the rest of the world and similar to other Spanish studies. The distribution by etiology was congruent with what is shown in the literature. However, studies in patients from different backgrounds will be necessary to obtain a better approximation of the overall prevalence of these pathologies.
