Data were retrieved from the Swedish Perineal Laceration Registry. Outcomes in relation to maternal BMI were urinary incontinence (UI), anal incontinence (AI) and common complications attributable to\u00a0the laceration. Uni- and multivariate logistic regressions were used for comparison between normal weight (BMI\u2009&lt;\u200924.9, reference), overweight (25.0\u201329.9) and obese (\u2265\u200930) women.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Multivariate analyses showed an increased risk for UI in both overweight and obese women compared to normal-weight women 8 weeks after a second-degree perineal laceration with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 1.21 (CI 1.02\u20131.44) and 1.27 (CI 1.13\u20131.58) respectively. Overweight and obese women had a decreased risk for AI (aOR 0.81, CI 0.68\u20130.96; aOR 0.72, CI 0.57\u20130.90 respectively) compared with normal-weight women.
