Résumé
Early-term birth between 37 and 38 weeks of gestation increases the risk of mortality and morbidity. This study investigated the status and impact of early-term birth among neonates born by cesarean section in Japan. All singleton live births that had data of gestational age at birth available in the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS), a nationwide birth cohort study launched in 2011, were eligible for this study. Neonates born by cesarean delivery at term without indications for early delivery were included to examine the association between early-term birth and respiratory distress at birth. The gestational age at birth was categorized as 37 weeks 0 day to 38 weeks 6 days (early-term), 39 weeks 0 day to 40 weeks 6 day (full-term), and 41 weeks 0 day to 41 weeks 6 days (late-term). Respiratory distress at birth included respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnea, and difficulty in breathing after birth. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed using logistic regression models with a two-tailed significance level of 5%. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS, version 9.4, for Windows (SAS Institute, Cary, NC). In total, 32 078 of 100 011 (32.1%) neonates had early-term birth. At 37 gestational weeks, 49.7% of the deliveries were via cesarean section, and half of the cesarean deliveries were due to a previous cesarean section. Among the 10 051 neonates born by elective cesarean delivery at term, neonates with early-term births were more likely to have respiratory distress at birth (adjusted odds ratio: 4.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.70, 10.34) than those born at full term. Early-term birth is associated with a high risk of respiratory distress in births involving cesarean delivery without indication for early delivery. There is a need for guidelines for early delivery considering adverse effects of early-term births.

OBJECTIVE
Early-term birth between 37 and 38 weeks of gestation increases the risk of mortality and morbidity. This study investigated the status and impact of early-term birth among neonates born by cesarean section in Japan.
METHODS
METHODS
All singleton live births that had data of gestational age at birth available in the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS), a nationwide birth cohort study launched in 2011, were eligible for this study. Neonates born by cesarean delivery at term without indications for early delivery were included to examine the association between early-term birth and respiratory distress at birth. The gestational age at birth was categorized as 37 weeks 0 day to 38 weeks 6 days (early-term), 39 weeks 0 day to 40 weeks 6 day (full-term), and 41 weeks 0 day to 41 weeks 6 days (late-term). Respiratory distress at birth included respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnea, and difficulty in breathing after birth. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed using logistic regression models with a two-tailed significance level of 5%. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS, version 9.4, for Windows (SAS Institute, Cary, NC).

RESULTS
In total, 32 078 of 100 011 (32.1%) neonates had early-term birth. At 37 gestational weeks, 49.7% of the deliveries were via cesarean section, and half of the cesarean deliveries were due to a previous cesarean section. Among the 10 051 neonates born by elective cesarean delivery at term, neonates with early-term births were more likely to have respiratory distress at birth (adjusted odds ratio: 4.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.70, 10.34) than those born at full term.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Early-term birth is associated with a high risk of respiratory distress in births involving cesarean delivery without indication for early delivery. There is a need for guidelines for early delivery considering adverse effects of early-term births.
