| Popis: | We tested the null hypothesis that there were no differences between patients with obstetric fistula and parous controls without fistula. A unmatched case–control study was carried out comparing 75 women with a history of obstetric fistula with 150 parous controls with no history of fistula. Height and weight were measured for each participant, along with basic socio-demographic and obstetric information. Descriptive statistics were calculated and differences between the groups were analyzed using Student’s t test, Mann–Whitney U test where appropriate, and Chi-squared or Fisher’s exact test, along with backward stepwise logistic regression analyses to detect predictors of obstetric fistula.
