BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Although not well known, @entity6413 ( @entity6413 ) is an important cause of @entity615 , which may lead to decreased quality of life, disability and @entity74 . This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and prevalence of @entity6413 , to estimate its impact on the quality of life and to determine its association with @entity148 , @entity308 and disability in @entity1 at public hospitals in S  o Lu  s, MA. METHODS: Cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study. Eighteen @entity1 characterized as having @entity6413 were selected, and their clinical, epidemiological and psychological characteristics, their quality of life and their levels of physical fitness were evaluated through clinical evaluations, Beck questionnaires, the Short Form-36 (SF-36), the Rolland-Morris questionnaire and the Douleur Neurophatique 4 questions. The multidimensional @entity158 evaluation was performed using the McGill Pain Questionnaire. RESULTS: The prevalence of post-laminectomy @entity158 was 60  %. Most of the @entity1 assessed in this study were male and received a family income of up to minimum wage; their mean age was 45  years. All of the @entity1 presented with chronic, intense @entity158 that had lasted an average of 7.22  years. The prevalence of @entity9 was 89.9  %. The physical appearance and functional capacity domains of the SF-36 were classified as unsatisfactory in 94.4 and 83.3  % of the @entity1 , respectively. None of the @entity1 exhibited high levels of physical fitness. The average score was 21.33 for @entity148 and 18.88 for @entity308 . There was a strongly positive and significant relationship between the @entity148 and @entity308 scores. Additionally, there was a moderately positive and significant relationship between the disability and @entity148 scores. Regarding the correlation between the @entity158 intensity and the quality of life, there was a moderately significant relationship between the @entity1 ' mental health and their vitality.
