The pregnancy data, intrapartum data and postpartum follow-up (completed at 1\u00a0week, 3\u00a0weeks and 6\u00a0weeks following delivery) data were acquired.

The incidence rate of anorectal diseases in the first 6\u00a0weeks after delivery was 29.14\u202f%. Prolonged second stage of labor, elevated fetal birth weights, increased pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), a history of gestational constipation, and epidural anesthesia served as independent risk factors (p&lt;0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.928, which was well calibrated, and the mean AUC by 5-fold cross-validation was 0.865, implying good discrimination and generalization ability.
