Résumé
The objective of this study was to describe prevalence and location of obstetric lacerations in adolescents. Retrospective cohort study. We performed an analysis of the Consortium on Safe Labor database including tertiary care university-affiliated urban hospitals. All primiparous women who delivered vaginally were included. Vaginal and perineal lacerations were compared between age groups 15 or younger, 16-21, 22-34, 35-39, and older than 40 years. Outcome measures included vaginal, perineal, labial, and periurethral lacerations. χ A total of 9777 patients were included in the analysis. Young adolescents and adolescents had significantly higher rates of labial and periurethral lacerations compared with individuals aged 22-34 years. The prevalence of third- and fourth-degree perineal tears increased with age. Adolescent primiparous women are less likely to have severe perineal obstetric tears, but have higher rates of labial and periurethral tears.
