Text: Although there were no statistically significant differences, parity-adjusted odds ratios (aOR) suggest that compared with women sutured with catgut, women sutured with polyglycolic were less likely to experience perineal pain at Day 3 postpartum (aOR = 0. 70 95 % confidence interval [95 % CI] 0. 46-1. 08) but by six months postpartum were somewhat more likely to experience perineal pain (aOR = 1. 77, 95 % CI 0. 57-5. 47), dyspareunia (aOR = 1. 21 [0. 62-2. 33] and require removal of a suture (aOR = 2. 61 95 % CI 0. 59-12. 41).
