TL;DR
Although episiotomy use in the United States from 1979 to 1997 has decreased, the most recent rate of 39 per 100 vaginal deliveries remains higher than evidence‐based recommendations for optimal patient care.
Abstract
Although episiotomy use has decreased over time, the most recent rate of 39 per 100 vaginal deliveries remains higher than evidence-based recommendations for optimal patient care.

There is less posterior perineal trauma, less suturing and fewer complications, no difference for most pain measures and severe vaginal or perineAL trauma, but there was an increased risk of anterior perineals trauma with restrictive episiotomy.

234 Citations1999Jan Zetterström
S Sphincter tear at vaginal delivery is a serious complication, and it is frequently associated with anal incontinence, so special attention should be directed toward risk factors for this complication.

The outcome after primary repair of third-degree obstetric tear was similar whether an approximation or an overlap technique was used, although two thirds of women had ultrasonographic evidence of residual anal sphincter damage irrespective of the method of repair.

It is concluded that the risks and benefits of midline episiotomy should be evaluated in a randomized clinical trial that compares policies of “usual” versus conservative use of episiotomies.

Determinants of sulcus tears appear to be present before pregnancy; third- and fourth-degree tears are related to physician management and exercise mitigates the potential for severe trauma induced by episiotomy.

Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that episiotomy was strongly related to fetal bradycardia, prolonged second stage, ethnic status, and maternal education level, and spontaneous lacerations were influenced by these factors.

A statistically and clinically significant reduction in the use of episiotomy for operative vaginal deliveries was not associated with a change in the rate of third-degree lacerations but was associated with an increase in the Rate of vaginal laceration and a decrease in the rates of fourth-degreeLacerations.

Hospital academic affiliation was an important predictor of clinical outcomes and better clinical outcomes were found primarily among patients at academic medical centers, although these institutions demonstrated moderately higher resource utilization, compared with community hospitals.

Despite dramatic declines in the use of episiotomy during the last two decades, it remains one of the most frequent surgical procedures performed on women in the United States, and it continues to be performed at a higher rate for certain groups of women.

40 Citations1998Lee A. Learman
In all but the southern United States, cesarean delivery rates declined and vacuum surpassed forceps delivery between 1987 and 1994 and these regional differences are not explained by differences in demographic risk factors.
Obstetrics and GynecologyFactors Associated With the Use of Episiotomy During Vaginal Delivery
39 Citations1996William J. Hueston
Although differences in episiotomy rates mainly reflect clinical circumstances, important site-to-site variations and interspecialty differences point to potential areas where physician behaviors influence the performance of episiotome.

20 Citations1989Lola Jean Kozak
The reported rates of cesarean sections, repair of current obstetric lacerations, artificial rupture of membranes, and vacuum extraction increased throughout the whole period from 1980 to 1987, however, and thus are less likely to have risen because of changes in reporting practices.
