Data were retrieved from patient computerized medical records. Kaplan\u2013Meier curves and Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate the IPI defined as the time from delivery to the last menstruation prior to the subsequent delivery. Data analysis for our secondary objective was performed using mean and standard deviation for quantitative variables.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>During the study period, 233 women experienced OASIS (0.27%), of whom 142 met the study criteria. There was no significant difference in the mean IPI between women in the two groups. However, women were significantly more likely to have a repeat perineal tear (49 [34.5%], <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), an episiotomy (16 [11.3%], <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and an elective or an emergency cesarean section (60 [42.3%], <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) in their subsequent delivery.
