Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis: High birth weight increases the risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury. Macrosomia is a well-known complication in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to investigate whether gestational diabetes is a risk factor for obstetric anal sphincter injury. We hypothesized that women with gestational diabetes have an increased risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury.
Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis using the PubMed and Embase databases. Studies including numbers on women with and without gestational diabetes and with and without obstetric anal sphincter injury were included. Studies were assessed using the SIGN-methodology checklist to evaluate the quality and risk of bias. Extracted data was analyzed using RevMan 5.4 and the statistical software R.
Results: Twelve cohort studies were included for the meta-analyses. Overall, we found a slightly increased prevalence of obstetric anal sphincter injury among the women with gestational diabetes of 2.40% (95% CI; 2.37-2.43) compared to 2.31% (95% CI; 2.30-2.32) in women without diabetes. The meta-analysis revealed increased risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury in the gestational diabetes-group (RR 1.24 [95% CI; 1.12-1.37]) with a high level of heterogeneity (I2 = 94%). Primiparous women with gestational diabetes had an increased risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury 6.65% (95% CI; 6.18-7.14) compared to 4.98% (95% CI; 4.89-5.08) in the control group, whereas the risk was not significantly increased in multiparous women.
Conclusions: The risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury is increased in primiparous women with gestational diabetes mellitus compared to women without gestational diabetes.
期刊介绍：
The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
