Abstract:	Methods: 176 participants with aLBP (pain duration ≤ 4 weeks) were recruited (November 2017 to February 2021) in this inception cohort study and followed up (FU) at 8, 12, 26 and 52 weeks after pain onset. Pain intensity and biopsychosocial variables were gathered at each FU. Latent-class linear mixed models were used to derive homogeneous aLBP latent class trajectories. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to model the odds ratio of latent class membership as linear function of a priori selected biopsychosocial variables at baseline. Results: Analysis of the data indicated a 4-class model, whereas 46% of all participants (39.3 years of age, 50.9% female) were assigned to a non-favourable trajectory of either persistent moderate pain intensity, moderate/severe fluctuating pain intensity or delayed recovery by week 52. Female sex, increased pain intensity, previous LBP episodes, increased disability and ≥ medium risk of chronicity were associated with less favourable aLBP trajectories. Conclusions: The natural course of aLBP is less favourable as previously stated and psychosocial variables at baseline do not account for trajectory membership.
