This
indicator measures the rate of obstetric trauma (lacerations that are third
degree or greater in severity) for instrument-assisted vaginal deliveries in a reporting period.
Observed cases divided by expected cases times Canadian average
Logistic regression for risk-adjustment.
Cases within the denominator with at least one obstetric trauma :
- Third-degree perineal laceration during delivery, delivered, with or without mention of antepartum condition (ICD-10-CA: O70.201)
- Fourth-degree perineal laceration during delivery, delivered, with or without mention of antepartum condition (ICD-10-CA: O70.301)
- Obstetric laceration of cervix, delivered, with or without mention of antepartum condition (ICD-10-CA: O71.301)
- Obstetric high vaginal laceration alone, delivered, with or without mention of antepartum condition (ICD-10-CA: O71.401)

- Obstetric damage to pelvic joints and ligaments, delivered, with or without mention of antepartum condition (ICD-10-CA: O71.601)
- Surgical repair, postpartum, of obstetric laceration:
- Of corpus uteri (CCI code: 5.PC.80.JH)
