Résumé
Women with generalized joint hypermobility may be at increased risk of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, but evidence is inconclusive. In this prospective cohort study of 283 pregnant women in Norway, we aimed to study the association of generalized joint mobility with pelvic girdle pain, and to evaluate if pre-pregnancy body mass index was a modifier of the association. Generalized joint hypermobility was defined as a score of ≥5/9 positive tests on the Beighton score measured in early pregnancy. Primary outcome was evening pain intensity in gestation week 30, measured by a 100 mm visual analogue scale. We applied linear regression analyses to estimate age-adjusted unstandardized beta coefficients. Evening pain intensity was similar among women with Beighton score ≥ 5/9 and women with Beighton score < 5/9 (age-adjusted mean difference 2.8 mm; 95% CI: -9.2 to 14.9 mm). Women with Beighton score ≥ 5/9 and pre-pregnancy body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m Overall, evening pain intensity was similar among pregnant women with and without generalized joint hypermobility. However, women with a combination of generalized joint hypermobility and body mass index ≥25 kg/m

BACKGROUND
UNASSIGNED
Women with generalized joint hypermobility may be at increased risk of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, but evidence is inconclusive.
OBJECTIVES
UNASSIGNED
In this prospective cohort study of 283 pregnant women in Norway, we aimed to study the association of generalized joint mobility with pelvic girdle pain, and to evaluate if pre-pregnancy body mass index was a modifier of the association.
METHODS
UNASSIGNED
Generalized joint hypermobility was defined as a score of ≥5/9 positive tests on the Beighton score measured in early pregnancy. Primary outcome was evening pain intensity in gestation week 30, measured by a 100 mm visual analogue scale. We applied linear regression analyses to estimate age-adjusted unstandardized beta coefficients.
RESULTS
UNASSIGNED
Evening pain intensity was similar among women with Beighton score ≥ 5/9 and women with Beighton score < 5/9 (age-adjusted mean difference 2.8 mm; 95% CI: -9.2 to 14.9 mm). Women with Beighton score ≥ 5/9 and pre-pregnancy body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m
CONCLUSIONS
UNASSIGNED
Overall, evening pain intensity was similar among pregnant women with and without generalized joint hypermobility. However, women with a combination of generalized joint hypermobility and body mass index ≥25 kg/m
