NCT ID NCT01822782
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 1,100 pregnant women to see if having abnormal vaginal bacteria (like bacterial vaginosis) makes vaginal tears more likely during delivery. Researchers checked routine vaginal test results and recorded any tears that happened. The goal is to understand if this common condition is a risk factor for birth injuries.
