| Abstract |
The aims of this study were to compare prevalence of back pain in parous, nulliparous, pregnant and non-pregnant women and to determine whether there is an association between incontinence and back pain in pregnant women. Associations between back pain, pregnancy, parity and incontinence were assessed in 14,779 younger and 14,099 mid-age women using chi-squared analysis. The odds of back pain were modelled with multinomial logistic regression. Back pain was more frequent in parous than nulliparous (p < 0.001) and pregnant than non-pregnant (p < 0.001) younger women. However, no associations were seen for mid-aged women. Pregnant women who had incontinence had increased odds ratios for 'often' and 'rarely or sometimes' having back pain (8.5 and 3.8, respectively). This study suggests that pregnancy may lead to earlier development of back pain, without affecting long-term prevalence. Incontinence and back pain may be related because of contribution of the trunk muscles to continence and lumbopelvic control. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 20 March 2015.
All research outputs
#15,518,326
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from International Urogynecology Journal & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
#1,631
of 2,900 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,378
of 75,783 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Urogynecology Journal & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
#6
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,900 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 75,783 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
