Abstract
Perineal tear is a common complication of vaginal delivery and will seriously affect the quality of life of these women, if is severe. Given to there was no evidence-based clinical guideline for the prevention and management of perineal tear in China, this evidence-based guideline was developed, based on the methods of WHO handbook for guideline development. Systematic reviews were conducted according to the Cochrane handbook and GRADE was used to assess the quality and certainty of the evidence. Detailed recommendations are provided for 19 clinical questions in the prevention and management of perineal laceration, aiming to guide clinical practice and improve the quality of life of this group of women.
