Background: Birth-related perineal trauma is a public health issue that can lead to significant maternal morbidity in low-income countries like Ethiopia. Research on the proportion and underlying factors of birth-related severe perineal tears is rare, both in the study area and throughout Ethiopia. As a result, this study was intended to determine the proportion of birth-related severe perineal tears and associated factors at hospitals in Bahir Dar town, Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken at government hospitals in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. Five hundred fifteen study subjects were selected using a systematic sampling technique. The data was collected through chart reviews and interviews. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS Version 23. A binary logistic regression was employed to identify factors, and an adjusted odds ratio and a 95% CI were used to estimate the strength of relationships. Statistical significance was declared at p-value < 0.05. Result: The prevalence of severe perineal tears was 7.4%. Previous history of a perineal tear (AOR = 3.06, 95% CI = 1.24–7.59), being nullipara (AOR = 4.03, 95% CI = 1.42–11.44), occipito-posterior position (AOR = 5.49, 95% CI = 2.27–13.28), duration of second stage of labor > 2 h (AOR = 5.42, 95% CI = 2.26–12.99), birth attendant’s work experience <1 year (AOR = 5.98, 95% CI = 2.16–16.57) were found to be associated with birth-related severe perineal tear. Conclusion: The proportion of birth-related severe perineal tears was high at governmental hospitals in Bahir Dar town. Previous history of perineal tear, work experience of birth attendants, duration of the second stage of labor, being nullipara, and occipito-posterior position were the major determinants of severe perineal tear. This study suggests that strategies and regulations should be developed to shorten the second stage of labor.

INTRODUCTIONBirth-related perineal tear or laceration(s) are related to vaginal delivery. Perineal laceration(s) can results in serious maternal morbidity and even mortality in low and middle-income countries, including Ethiopia. The prevalence and determinants of birth-related perineal tear have not been well studied in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area of this research. Therefore, the aims of this research were to determine the prevalence and determinants of birth-related perineal tear among mothers who delivered in Atat Hospital in southern Ethiopia. It was another aim of this study to design an evidence-based intervention and prevention strategies for the reduction of a BPT in the study area and the country based on analysis of data acquired in this research.METHODSA hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Atat Hospital from March 1 to August 30, 2021. A total of 422 mothers were included. A systematic random sampling procedure was used to select the study participants. Chart review and interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to collect data. Data entry and analysis were done by using Epi info 7 and SPSS version 20. The strength of associations was assessed by using an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and statical significance was considered at p-value of less than (<) .05.RESULTThe prevalence of perineal tears in Atat Hospital was 152 (38.4%) among 396 delivered mothers (95% CI 33.8, 43.4%). Variables found to be related to perineal tear(s) included an episiotomy, (AOR, 2.145,95% CI 1.051, 4.378), fundal pressure (AOR, 7.409, 95% CI 3.157, 17.384), augmentation, (AOR, 4.608,95% CI 2.139, 9.927), and neonatal head circumference (AOR, 3.427,95% CI 2.377, 4.923). These four variables were significantly associated with the perineal tear (p < .05).CONCLUSIONThe prevalence of perineal trauma in this study was high may be be minimized with the use of indicated episiotomy and the lack of fundal pressure. Fundal pressure, augmentation, an episiotomy, and neonatal head circumference were significantly associated factors with the occurrence of perineal tears.
