Background: Obstetric lesions of the anal sphincter (OASIS) are tears intersecting the structure of the anus after vaginal delivery. Our aim is to provide data on the incidence of OASIS and investigate potentially connected risk factors.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 464 parturient patients admitted to the AOU Maggiore della Carità, Novara (Italy), in the last ten years (2013-2023), comparing 116 cases (with OASIS) versus 348 controls (with no OASIS).

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined how the volume of operative vaginal deliveries (OVDs) at hospitals in California from 2008 to 2020 affects adverse outcomes for both birthing individuals and newborns.
  • It categorized hospital OVD volume into low (less than 5.2%), medium (5.2%-7.4%), and high (7.4% or more), finding that lower volume hospitals had a higher incidence of complications such as obstetric anal sphincter injuries and adverse neonatal outcomes.
  • The research utilized extensive data from birth certificates and hospital records to analyze trends, highlighting the need for improvements in obstetric care based on hospital performance.

Maternal dissatisfaction, related to the birth and to the subsequent hospital stay, was assessed 2 days postpartum by two self-administered questions: "Are you satisfied with the care you received during your child's birth?" and "Are you satisfied with the care you have received during your hospital stay?".
