Abstract |
Objective |
To determine maternal and neonatal outcomes among women undergoing second stage emergent cesarean delivery (ECD) versus vacuum-assisted delivery (VAD) of low birthweight neonates.
Materials and methods |
A retrospective cohort study from two tertiary medical centers. We included women who underwent either ECD or VAD during the second stage of labor, and delivered neonates with a birthweight of <2500 g during 2011–2019. Characteristics and outcomes were compared between the groups. The primary outcome was the rate of a composite adverse neonatal outcome, defined as the presence of ≥1 of the following: Apgar 5 min < 7, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation and intrapartum fetal death.
Results |
The study cohort included 611 patients, of whom 46 had ECD and 565 had VAD. Baseline characteristics did not differ between the groups. The rate of Apgar score < 7 at 1 min was higher among the ECD group]10 (22%) vs. 29 (5%), OR (95% CI) 5.1 (2.3–11.3), p < 0.001[. Other neonatal and maternal outcomes were similar in both groups.
Conclusions |
Neonatal and maternal outcomes do not differ substantially between ECD and VAD of neonates weighing <2500 g. This information may be useful when contemplating the preferred mode of delivery in this setting.
