dc.description.abstractObjective: Maternal low back pain is a potent risk factor for poor health quality. We aimed toinvestigate the prevalence and risk factors of Low back pain (LBP) and Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) duringpregnancy, and their effects on quality of life.Material and Methods: Between March and August 2018, a total 160 pregnant women, whoapplied to outpatient clinics of the departments of Gynecology and Physical Therapy RehabilitationClinic, were included in this prospective study. Demographic characteristics, obstetric history of theparticipants, and LBP and PGP status during and before pregnancy were recorded. Severity of pain,functional capacity, Quality of life (QoL), and anxiety depression status were assessed using visualanalogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ), World Health Organization Qualityof Life Scale Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS),respectively.Results: The prevalence of LBP and PGP were 73.4% and 28.12%, respectively. Total ODQ andVAS were significantly high in groups with LBP or PGP (p=0.000 and p=0.000, respectively). Ofthe WHOQOL-BREF subheadings, ‘the general health’ and ‘physical health’ parameters weresignificantly lower in women with LBP, whereas the ‘social relationship’ parameter was significantlylow in those with PGP (p=0.003, p=0.002, and p=0.049, respectively). The increase in anxiety anddepression scores was only associated with LBP (p=0.019 and p=0.006, respectively).Conclusion: LBP and PGP during pregnancy adversely affect QoL, leading to functional limitations,depression, and anxiety disorders.en_US
