Association between limited english proficiency and OASIS injury

Between 2009 to 2013, US Census Data identified 25 million individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP). Non-English speakers face decreased access to health care, decreased quality of healthcare, and increased risk of adverse health outcomes. As pregnant women with LEP suffer disparities in obstetric care, outcomes following challenging deliveries, including the occurrence of OASIS injuries may be impacted. There currently is limited evidence on the relationship between LEP and OASIS injuries.
