CArE for OAsI Study: Care Pathways and Anorectal Evaluation for OASI Associated Incontinence

CArE for OAsI
Start date: January 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to ascertain which pathways currently exist in relation to the follow up of patients with obstetric anal sphincter injury related incontinence. This is particularly important as afflicted individuals may not readily volunteer information about their symptoms and struggles and need to be safeguarded by the presence of robust care pathways that ensure adequate follow up and care provision. As obstetric anal sphincter injuries have been associated with increased litigation rates over the years, positive interventions towards patient care will help ameliorate the financial burden that litigation carries on the National Health Service. It is noteworthy of mention that perineal injury, in itself, may not be suggestive of negligent care and is a recognized complication of vaginal delivery. However, a failure to adequately manage the injury may carry medicolegal implications.
