The primary aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of symptoms of perineal wound infections and infections requiring medical intervention within the first 30\u2009days postpartum.

In this analysis, participants with perineal tears and episiotomies following vaginal deliveries were included. Women were contacted via telephone seven to 10\u2009days postpartum and asked about symptoms for infection recommended by the \u201cSurgical Site Infection Surveillance Service.\u201d At 3\u2009months postpartum, participants reported via questionnaire on receiving medical interventions for wound infection and whether a healthcare provider inspected their perineal tear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study sample comprises a total of 748 primi\u2010 and multiparous women (58.3% primipara, 41.7% multipara). Sixteen participants (2.2%) reported wound infection symptoms. Wound infections requiring medical interventions were identified in seven women (1.1%), all of whom were primipara. This included five cases with an episiotomy and two cases with a second\u2010degree tear. Half of the participants had their perineal tear inspected during the 6\u2010week follow\u2010up visit. Depending on tear category, between 25% and 72% of women who did not undergo an inspection would have preferred one.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In our population, symptoms of perineal wound infection were 2.2% and infections requiring medical intervention were 1.1%.
