Abstract Background Obstetric brachial plexus injuries (OBPIs) are rare but can have significant implications for those affected, their caregivers and the health system.

Univariable and multivariable linear regression models were conducted to assess for associations between participant characteristics and the utility scores. Results The overall mean utility scores for affected adults and parents were 0.56 (SD 0.28) and 0.80 (SD 0.19) respectively. Affected adults (95% CI (− 0.38, − 0.22), p |
