Letter to the Editor concerning “Subjective recovery from pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain the first 6 weeks after delivery: a prospective longitudinal cohort study" by Gausel AM, et al. (Eur Spine J; [2020]: doi:10.1007/s00586-020-06288-9)

[摘要] We read the article by Gausel et al. [1] entitled “Subjective recovery from pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain the frst 6 weeks after delivery: a prospective longitudinal cohort study” with passion and utmost diligence. At the outset, we congratulate the authors for a thought-provoking, lesspondered subject of pregnancy-related pelvic pain being put forth on in such a scientifc way. However, this scientifc paper discussed at length in our peer of spine surgeons, left few comments, queries and questions which seek an answer from the authors. They are: 1. Is meeting the patient for an interview or clinical examination not a better and efective way to know about PGP (Pelvic girdle pain) with certainty as well this will give an opportunity to counsel the patient for a positive outcome?
