aConception date was estimated by calculating the number of days between fistula repair and delivery and then subtracting 280 days. Time to conception was therefore only estimated among the 22 women who had a vaginal or cesarean section deliveries; estimated conception could not be calculated for the 4 participants who were still pregnant as they had not delivered yet or among the 5 women who had a miscarriage or abortion (no delivery date recorded)
