Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the prevalence of episiotomy in Ecuadorian hospitals over 14 years and its relation to various maternal and neonatal factors.
- A total of 11,862 vaginal delivery records showed an overall episiotomy rate of 36.69%, with a noted decrease in frequency from 2019 to 2022.
- The findings highlighted that younger maternal age, previous cesarean sections, and certain neonatal conditions were positively associated with episiotomy, while having had previous vaginal births showed a negative association, leading to recommendations for improved clinical guidelines.
