- The study aimed to compare the risks and outcomes of obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) between obese and non-obese women after childbirth.
- Researchers analyzed data from 349 women, finding that while obese women had higher rates of gestational diabetes, there were no significant differences in newborn weight, delivery methods, or overall adverse outcomes post-delivery.
- Interestingly, non-obese women showed higher rates of anatomical defects related to OASI, suggesting a need for further investigation into these findings.
