Care pathways and anorectal evaluation for obstetric anal sphincter injury‐related incontinence: A <scp>UK</scp> survey of obstetricians

This study demonstrates variability in clinical practice that does not entirely appear to be evidence driven. A nationally endorsed pathway, embedded within Perinatal Pelvic Health Services, could standardize access to expertise and enable benchmarking. A prospective multicentre audit is recommended to compare maternal functional outcomes in units that use these standardized pathways versus those that do not.

Abstract

This study demonstrates variability in clinical practice that does not entirely appear to be evidence driven. A nationally endorsed pathway, embedded within Perinatal Pelvic Health Services, could standardize access to expertise and enable benchmarking. A prospective multicentre audit is recommended to compare maternal functional outcomes in units that use these standardized pathways versus those that do not.
