Postpartum Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Referral Rates in a Multihospital System

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the referral rates for postpartum pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) within a multihospital system and to identify associated patient and clinical characteristics. They found that only 3.9% of postpartum individuals were referred to PFPT, with significant disparities based on demographics and hospital type, indicating a need for improved integration of PFPT in postpartum care to address these inequities.
