For comparison between groups Fisher’s Exact test was used for dichotomous variables and the Mann-Whitney U-test was used for continuous variables
PGP Pelvic girdle pain, LBP Low back pain, ODI Oswestry disability index, EQ-5D EuroQol-5 dimensions, EQ-VAS EuroQol-visual analogue scale, HADS-A Hospitality anxiety depression score-anxiety, HADS-D Hospitality anxiety depression score-depression, PCS Pain catastrophisation scale, GES General self-efficacy scale. For categorical variables n (%) is presented. For continuous variables Median (Min; Max) / n = is presented
