| Abstract |
Low back pain and pelvic pain (LBPP) is common during pregnancy and up to 40% of women still have symptoms half a year after delivery. The aim of the study was to investigate determinants and the prevalence of persistent LBPP after pregnancy in a Swedish cohort. In a previous study 891 women had responded to a questionnaire on risk factors and prevalence of LBPP during pregnancy. Altogether 72% (n=639) of the women had reported LBPP during pregnancy. These respondents were sent a second questionnaire at approximately 6 months after delivery. The response rate was 72.6% (n=464). Independent t-test and Pearson's chi-squared test were used to test the difference between the two groups. In response to the questionnaire, 43.1% of the women reported persistent LBPP 6 months after delivery. Women with persistent LBPP after pregnancy had had significantly earlier onset of pain during pregnancy, higher maternal age, higher body mass index (BMI), and assessed a higher level of pain due to LBPP during pregnancy and after pregnancy, and included a higher proportion of women with joint hyper-mobility. In summary, recurrent or continuous LBPP is prevalent after pregnancy. BMI as well as hyper-mobility are prominent determinants of persistent LBPP after pregnancy. Level and onset of pain during pregnancy were strong predictors of persistent LBPP. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 32. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 September 2022.
All research outputs
#1,104,172
of 23,613,071 outputs
Outputs from European Spine Journal
#84
of 4,828 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,714
of 157,789 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Spine Journal
#2
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,613,071 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,828 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 157,789 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
