The purpose of this study was to estimate the global distribution and financial cost associated with the inequities present in the use of cesarean sections (CS) worldwide....
We used the latest estimates on CS rates published by WHO and we adopted 10-15 % as the range of CS rates that are considered optimal for adequate use. We calculated the cost (in USD) to achieve CS ra...
137 countries are included in this analysis with updated data on CS rates between the years 2010 and 2018. Our analysis found that 36 countries reported CS rates < 10 %, whereas 91 countries reported ...
Global inequities in CS performed and associated costs have increased since 2008, resulting in a disproportionate number of resources allocated....
Cesarean section-induced postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) potentially causes anemia and hypovolemic shock in pregnant women. Hence, it is helpful for obstetricians and anesthesiologists to prepare pre-empt...
The study cohort in this paper was selected from individuals with PPH who were hospitalized at Shijiazhuang Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from 2020 to 2022. In this study cohort, we built a datas...
The experiment results show that random forest obtains the highest accuracy for PPH amount prediction compared to other ML methods. Random forest reaches the mean absolute error of 21.7, less than 5.4...
It effectively predicts the amount of PPH during a cesarean section by ML methods, especially random forest. With the above insight, ML predicting PPH amounts provides early warning for clinicians, th...
To evaluate the existence of statistically significant clusters of Cesarean section rates at the county level and assess the relationship of such clusters with previously implicated socioeconomic fact...
County-level obstetrics data was extracted from March of Dimes, originally sourced from National Center for Health Statistics. County-level demographic data were extracted from the US Census Bureau. A...
The main causes of difficult fetal extraction during cesarean section are deeply impacted fetal head and floating presentation of the fetus. Studies of management techniques for difficult fetal extrac...
Pain experienced by women in the perinatal period constitutes a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. The aim of the study was to assess conditions of pain locus of control and pain reduction in post-c...
A cross-sectional quantitative study with convenience sampling was performed among 175 hospitalized post-cesarean section women in hospitals in Eastern Poland in accordance with the Strengthening the ...
Internal locus of control (M = 14.02) was provided the highest value by the parturients and followed by chance events (M = 12.61) and doctors' power (M = 12.18). Dominant coping with pain strategies i...
The study allowed for identification and better comprehension of factors conditioning pain control and pain reduction in parturients after the cesarean section. Furthermore, a stronger belief that pai...
Cesarean section (CS) rates have been on the rise globally, leading to an increasing number of women facing the decision between a Trial of Labor after two Cesarean Sections (TOLAC-2) or opting for an...
PubMed, MEDLINE, EMbase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases were searched for studies published until 30 June 2023. Eligible studies were included based on predeter...
Thirteen studies with a combined sample size of 101,011 women who had two prior CS were included. TOLAC-2 was associated with significantly higher maternal mortality (odds ratio (OR)=1.50, 95% confide...
Our findings suggest an increased risk of uterine rupture and maternal mortality with TOLAC-2, emphasizing the need for personalized risk assessment and shared decision-making by healthcare profession...
This study aimed to evaluate maternal and fetal characteristics and factors affecting fetal outcomes in twin pregnancies delivered by cesarean section....
This was a cross-sectional study in a tertiary care referral hospital. The primary outcome was to ascertain the effects of independent factors on the 1st and 5th minute APGAR scores, neonatal intensiv...
A total of 453 pregnant women and 906 newborns were included in the analysis. The final logistic regression model revealed that early gestational weeks and neonates <3rd weight percentile at the time ...
General anesthesia, emergency surgery, early gestational weeks, and birth weight <3rd weight percentile were strongly associated with poor neonatal outcomes in at least one of the twins delivered by c...
Despite awareness of obstetricians to the constant increase in the number of cesarean sections in recent years, the fear of a uterine scar rupture is still present and influences the choice of the mod...
The objective of this study was to compare maternal and neonatal issues according to the planned mode of delivery in patients with two previous cesarean sections....
It was a retrospective observational comparative study at Rennes University Hospital between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2020. We performed a propensity score for the comparison of neonatal outc...
A total of 410 patients with two previous cesarean section were eligible for our study. Prophylactic cesarean was performed in 358 cases (87.3%). Trial of labor was attempted in the 52 remaining patie...
Trial of labor seems to be a reasonable option for women with two previous cesarean sections in a selected population....
The French AmbUlatory Cesarean Section is a cesarean delivery technique, which includes a vertical fascial incision to the left of the linea alba and an extraperitoneal approach to the uterus. The pre...
This study aimed to compare maternal recovery after French AmbUlatory Cesarean Section vs standard cesarean delivery technique....
In this double-blind randomized controlled trial, women undergoing elective cesarean delivery at term were allocated into French AmbUlatory Cesarean Section vs standard cesarean delivery technique. A ...
Overall, 116 women were included in the trial (58 in each group). The adverse composite outcome did not differ between the 2 groups (38.9% for the French AmbUlatory Cesarean Section group vs 53.8% for...
As excellent maternal recovery was noted in both groups, we believe that the main factor affecting this recovery is the perioperative management (including avoidance of the use of intraoperative intra...
