• W4285175039 abstract "BACKGROUND: Tears of the genital tract are lesions resulting from the breakage of the continuity of the lower genital tract during childbirth. These injuries are associated with high maternal morbidity or mortality if severe, poorly managed or delayed in repair. It is a frequent complication of vaginal delivery. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence, demographic characteristics, risk factors, patterns and the t-term maternal outcomes of lower genital tract injuries in the labour room and the post-natal ward of the Bamenda Regional Hospital. METHODS: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study of women managed for genital tract injuries following vaginal birth in the Bamenda Regional Hospital (BRH) from March 2019 to July 2019. A non-probabilistic, consecutive and exhaustive sampling technique was used to select participants (sample size estimated at 237). Among those selected were women who had a vaginal birth. However, the researchers’ interest was particularly centered on the women who had genital tract injuries. Data was collected using a pretested questionnaire and analyzed using the SPSS version 22 software. RESULTS: In total, 310 participants were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 26.1 years (SD = 5.2), while the median age was 25 years (interquartile range = 22 - 29). Of the 310 participants included in the study, 128 developed a birth tract injury giving a prevalence of 41.3% (95% CI, 35.8 - 47.0). The most common type of injury was spontaneous tears (33.9%), the majority of which were perineal (30.6%) compared to episiotomies (7.4%). Most perineal tears were first degree tears (23.2%) followed by second-degree tears (6.8%). Third-degree perineal tears were rare (0.6%). We did not have any cases of fourth-degree perineal tears. We also encountered a few cases of cervical tears (0.6%). The factors associated with birth tract injury were assessed using bivariate and multiple logistic regression analysis. On bivariate analysis, being an adolescent parturient (OR = 2.8, 95% CI: 1.4 - 5.7, p = 0.005), single (OR = 1.78, 95% CI, 1.04 - 3.03, p = 0.034), having a history of birth tract injury (OR = 1.69, 95% CI, 1.01 - 2.95, p = 0.042), a duration of active phase of labour (OR = 2.1, 95% CI, 1.3 - 3.3, p = 0.002), being a primipara (OR = 2.8, 95% CI, 1.0 - 8.4, p = 0.045), inducing labour (OR = 2.4, 95% CI, 1.1 - 5.4, p = 0.033), augmenting labour (OR = 2.4, 95% CI, 1.1 - 5.4, p = 0.033), birthweight of 4000 g or more (OR = 3.0, 95% CI, 1.3 - 7.4, p cm (OR = 3.3, 95% CI, 1.5 - 7.9, p = 0.005) were statistically significantly associated with birth tract injuries. The majority of the blood loss post-partum was between 200 and 500 cc. Only one participant had a blood loss of 500 cc and above. Also, the severity of genital pain lasting beyond 24 hours postpartum was mostly less than 5/10 (50.6%) followed by genital pains > 7/10 (41.7%). The prevalence of infection of the injury was (1.6%) and no maternal death from injury was recorded. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of lower genital tract injuries in the Bamenda Regional hospital is high. First-degree tears were the most common followed by episiotomies. The perineal outcome in the BRH is poor and should be improved upon." @default.
