OBJECTIVES: The Healthy Recovery after Childbirth Clinic (HRCC) in Nova Scotia provides postpartum care to patients who experience obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS). The purpose of this study was to describe characteristics associated with HRCC attendance, characteristics associated with a trial of labour in a subsequent delivery, and OASIS recurrence by HRCC attendance status.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study using the Atlee Perinatal Database and clinical record review included primiparous individuals who sustained an OASIS at IWK Health in Halifax between 2013 and 2020. The χ2 and Fisher exact tests were performed to compare groups.
RESULTS: Of the 1041 individuals included, 67% attended HRCC. Attendance increased from 58% in 2013-2015 to 77% in 2019-2020. Younger age (<25 years) and smoking were associated with lower HRCC attendance (P = 0.07 and <0.01, respectively). Other characteristics, including area-level income and driving distance to HRCC, were not associated with attendance (P > 0.05). Of the 439 individuals who had a subsequent delivery, 92% had a trial of labour. Individuals with fourth-degree injury were less likely to attempt a trial of labour than those with third-degree injury (73% vs. 94%, P < 0.01). Of those who delivered vaginally, OASIS recurrence was similar in those who did and did not attend the HRCC (7.5% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.84).
CONCLUSIONS: HRCC attendance was high, but the disparity by age and smoking status suggests some barriers to access that should be explored. Although we found no difference in OASIS recurrence by HRCC attendance, more research with larger samples with adjustment for confounders is needed.
