Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the interpregnancy interval (IPI) of women who suffered obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) during childbirth and compare outcomes based on IPI length.
- Researchers analyzed data from women who had subsequent pregnancies after OASIS alongside a control group without such injuries, using medical records from 2015 to 2019.
- Results showed no significant difference in mean IPI between the groups, but women with OASIS had higher rates of repeat perineal tears, episiotomies, and cesarean sections in their next deliveries, indicating ongoing risks despite not delaying future pregnancies.
