BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to describe, on the basis of specific classification criteria and for a period of two years after delivery, the prognosis for @entity1 suffering from @entity2371 , and to describe the characteristics influencing the prognosis. METHODS: One thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine pregnant @entity1 who were booked for delivery at Odense University Hospital formed a cohort to investigate the prognosis. @entity1 whose reported daily @entity158 from @entity530 could be objectively confirmed were divided, according to symptoms, into five subgroups (n=405) - four classification groups ( @entity10100 , symphysiolysis, one-sided sacroiliac syndrome and double-sided sacroiliac syndrome) and one miscellaneous. The @entity1 in the five subgroups were re-examined at regular intervals for two years after delivery or until disappearance of symptoms (whichever was less). Thre hundred and forty-one @entity1 from the 5 subgroups participated in the postpartum follow-up. RESULTS: The majority (62.5%) of @entity1 in the four classification groups experienced disappearance of @entity158 within a month after delivery. Two years after parturition 8.6% were still suffering from @entity2371 (determined subjectively and objectively). Persistence of @entity158 was found to vary significantly from one classification group to another. None of those initially classified as suffering from symphysiolysis had @entity158 6 months after delivery in comparison to the 21 percent of those with @entity10100 who continued to have @entity158 at the two-year mark. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that @entity2371 had an excellent postpartum prognosis (in general) in three out of four classification groups. The @entity1 with @entity10100 ( @entity158 in all 3 @entity530 ) had a markedly worse prognosis than the @entity1 in the other three classification groups. High number of positive test and a low mobility index were identified as giving the highest relative risk for long term @entity158 .
