The overall reduction between the first and last 3\u2010year time period was 61% (aOR\u2009=\u20090.39, 95% CIs\u2009=\u20090.35\u20130.43). The only exception to this decreasing trend in OASIS was found in forceps deliveries performed without an episiotomy. The OASIS prevalence was approximately twofold higher in forceps compared to vacuum deliveries (aOR\u2009=\u20091.92, 95% CIs\u2009=\u20091.79\u20132.05). Performing either a mediolateral or lateral episiotomy was associated with a 45% decrease in the prevalence of OASIS relative to no episiotomy (aOR\u2009=\u20090.55, 95% CIs\u2009=\u20090.52\u20130.58).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Opting
