Abstract: Background: Decisions about method of birth should be evidence based. In Australia, the rising rate of cesarean section has not been limited to births after spontaneous conception. This study aimed to investigate cesarean section among women giving birth after in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Methods: Retrospective population‐based study was conducted using national registry data on IVF...
ObjectivesTo critically appraise the literature on the relations between four intrapartum obstetric interventions—electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), epidural analgesia, labor induction, and labor acceleration; and two types of delivery—instrumental (forceps and vacuum) and cesarean section.
MethodsThis review included meta‐analyses published between January 2000 and April 2012 including at least...
BackgroundPrevious studies show contradictory results about the impact of induced labor on the cesarean delivery rate and few studies have investigated the risk of vacuum extraction subsequent to induced labor. The aims of the present study were to describe the rate of induced labor in Sweden from 1999 to 2012, and to assess the risk of unplanned cesarean delivery and vacuum extraction after induced...
Background
Spontaneous vaginal birth rates are decreasing worldwide, while cesarean delivery, instrumental births, and medical birth interventions are increasing. Emerging evidence suggests that birth interventions may have an effect on children's health. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine the association between operative and medical birth interventions on the child's health during the...
Background
The study aims to assess agreement between data obtained from interviews with postpartum women and their health records about labor and birth characteristics, newborn care, and reasons for cesarean birth.
Methods
The present study analyzes the Birth in Brazil study dataset, a nationwide hospital‐based survey that included 23,894 postpartum women. Reliability was assessed using kappa...
Objectives
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of diagnosed postpartum depression (PPD) and the likelihood of PPD among primiparous women. We also evaluated differences in the influence of various maternal factors associated with PPD in adolescent versus adult mothers.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study using electronic health records linked to birth certificates to evaluate...
