Advanced FE simulation coupled with statistical surrogate modeling toward a multifactorial view on the pelvic floor muscle damage and perineal tearing during childbirth

Key Points

• Pelvic floor muscle damage is influenced by multiple factors during childbirth, impacting recovery.
• Statistical surrogate modeling allows for efficient evaluation of these complex interactions, enhancing understanding.
• Finite element simulation helps in realistically modeling the physical forces at play during childbirth events.
• Findings support the need for tailored interventions to minimize risks of damage based on multifactorial insights.
