“…As an independent variable, low maternal age was associated with increased episiotomy, such that mean maternal age was 25.79 years in episiotomy group and 28.4 years in non-episiotomy group. In agreement with the present study, a study by Carvalho et al in Brazil showed mean age of mothers 24.7 years in episiotomy group and 24.7 years in non-episiotomy group (11). Other studies have also shown a relationship between younger maternal age and increased risk of episiotomy (5,12,13).…”

“…In separate studies in Brazil by Christianson et al (12) and Braga et al (14), a significant relationship was found between inducing labor with oxytocin and increased frequency of episiotomy, which disagreed with Carvalho et al study (11). In the present study, birth weight was 3132 ± 458 g in episiotomy group and 3135 ± 537g in non-episiotomy group, with no significant difference between them (P = 0.935), which is in agreement with Carvalho et al (11) and disagreement with Izuka et al studies (15). In the present study, mean first minute Apgar score was (8.21 ± 0.77) in episiotomy group and (8.86 ± 1.09) in non-episiotomy group, with significant difference between them (P = 0.0001).…”

“…These findings show that the practice of episiotomy is carefully and selectively used, diverging from other studies that presented rates of 16% and 29.1% of episiotomies. [31][32] Regarding the neonatal data found in this study, mean gestational age calculated by the baby remained above 39 weeks, the firstminute Apgar ranged from 8 to 9 and in the fifth minute from 9 to 10, and the mean weight was 3,240 kg. These perinatal outcomes characterize the usual risk or lowrisk care performed by the obstetric nurse.…”

“…Similarly, a study performed on a referral center in the state of Pernambuco in order to analyze the prevalence and factors associated with episiotomy in 495 women undergoing vaginal delivery showed that primiparous and women with no previous vaginal delivery presented ten times greater risk of being subjected to the procedure than pregnant women in general. 15 It was not objective of this study to evaluate the the episiotomy rate in pregnant adolescents in a university hospital, although, in a similar study, which the objective was to evaluate the prevalence and the intensity of pain in 303 puerperal women in Collective Accommodation Unit of a University Hospital in the city of São Paulo, was found the episiotomy rate of over 70%, with relation between the fact and the practical teaching at the institution. 16 Thus, it is believed that the episiotomy rates higher than those recommended by the Ministry of Health and WHO can be found at the mentioned institution, however it is recommended that quantitative studies should be conducted.…”
