| description | BackgroundOperative vaginal deliveries represent an alternative to address problems during the second stage of labor. Clinicians have access to two different instruments obstetrics forceps and vacuum which should be conducted with indication. Understanding the pooled prevalence of operative vaginal deliveries, its indications, and outcomes would help in adopting suitable measures to reduce operative vaginal deliveries-related maternal and neonatal complications. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence, indications, and outcomes of operative vaginal deliveries among mothers who gave birth in Ethiopia.MethodsA literature search was done through databases such as PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Sciences, CAB Abstract, and CINHAL (EBSCO) to search studies that have been conducted in Ethiopia. Relevant sources were consulted to retrieve unpublished studies. Original observational studies that reported the prevalence, indication and outcomes of operative vaginal deliveries conducted in the English language were identified and screened. Studies were independently assessed for inclusion, data extraction, and risk of bias.ResultsTwelve studies were reviewed. The overall pooled prevalence of operative vaginal delivery among mothers who gave birth in Ethiopia was 10% (95% CI: 8 to 13) with I2 = 98.82% and a p-value ≤ 0.001. Fetal distress, prolonged labor, and maternal exhaustion were the most common feto-maternal indications of OVDs whereas; neonatal death, poor Apgar score, admission to neonatal intensive care unit, perianal tear, and postpartum hemorrhage were complications that occur following the operative vaginal deliveries in Ethiopia.ConclusionThis systematic review and meta-analysis showed one out of 10 mothers undergo operative vaginal deliveries. Almost all feto-maternal complications that arise following operative vaginal deliveries were preventable. Thus, concerned stakeholders should encourage quality OVDs practice by avoiding unnecessary indications and scaling up the skill of health professionals through special training.Systematic review registrationhttp://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42022311432. |
