No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Peripartum genital tract injuries (PVT) are common after vaginal delivery and can lead to physical, psychological, and functional sequelae. While several risk factors have been established in the literature, the link between epidural analgesia and these injuries remains controversial. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of epidural analgesia on the occurrence of PVT. Secondary objectives were to examine its association with instrumentation, episiotomy, and induction of labor, to identify independent risk factors for PVT, and to develop a predictive model for the risk of these injuries.
