Statistical code for paper by Kimmich, Yeo, Zimmerman & Furrer (2020) : How do sustained birth tears after vaginal birth affect birth tear patterns in a subsequent birth?
- April. 2020 // Just a few months off wrapping my MSc Biostatistics degree at the University of Zurich, this is what my biostatistics coursework contributed to, a brand new publication at the Journal of Perinatal Medicine, under the supervision of Dr. Eva M. Furrer, coordinator of MSci Biostatistics at the University of Zurich. Prior to publication, the report (in this repository) received a grade of 5.5 from the Deparment of Biostatistics, graded by Dr. Eva M. Furrer and Prof. Leonhard Held.
As we now know, we and our collaborators are the first to represent birth injuries as such in the world.
My favourite line from our article is :
"An understanding of the distribution of birth tear patterns will improve the clinician’s ability to counsel women ... and empower their decisions about birth mode"
