The incidence of episiotomy was determined using the data collected and
organized in the standardized form. Further statistical analysis was
conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 28
package. Descriptive statistics, Chi-squared test of hypothesis
independence, and ANOVA test were carried out for numerical variables.
Categorical variables were defined in terms of the number, percentage,
and risk estimate. A p-value of <0.05 was considered
statistically significant.
