This French multicentric prospective cohort study recruited 391 patients to investigate the risk factors for persistent pain after elective caesarean section, focusing on psychosocial aspects as adjusted to other known medical factors. Perioperative data was collected and specialised questionnaires were completed to assess the report of pain at the site of surgery. Three dependent outcomes were considered: pain at the 3rd month after surgery (M3, n = 268; risk = 28%), pain at the 6th month after surgery (M6, n = 239; risk =19%), and the cumulative incidence (up to M6) of neuropathic pain, as assessed using the DN4 (n = 218; risk = 24.5%).
