Abstract:
Objective To observe the prevalence and risk factors of chronic low back pain in puerperas after childbirth.Methods Eight hundred and eighty-one puerperas were selected,among whom 459 cases had uterine-incision delivery,and 422 cases had spontaneous delivery.The age,height and weight of pregnant women,birth weight of newborn,history of preoperative low back pain,parity and mode of delivery were recorded.The rate of chronic low back pain occurring within 1 month after childbirth and continuing for 3 months was recorded by telephone.The factors with P values less than 0.05 would enter the Logistic regression analysis to screen the risk factors of chronic low back pain.Results Two hundred and fifty-nine puerperas (259/881,29.4%) appeared chronic low back pain,of whom 157 puerperas (157/459,34.2%)delivered by uterine-incision and 102 puerperas (102/422,24.2%) delivered spontaneously,and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01).Six hundred and fifty-eight puerperas had no history of preoperative low back pain,and 150 puerperas (150/658,22.8%) appeared newly developed chronic low back pain.Logistic regression analysis showed that mode of delivery,parity and history of preoperative low back pain were the risk factors of chronic low back pain.Condusions The rate of chronic low back pain in puerperas after childbirth is 29.4%,and the newly developed chronic low back pain is 22.8%.Uterineincision delivery,multiparity and history of preoperative low back pain are the risk factors of chronic low back pain for puerperas after childbirth.
