Abstract Background The correlation between stage of labor and adverse delivery outcomes has been widely studied. Most of studies focused on nulliparous women, it was not very clear what impact the stage of labor duration had on multiparous women. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted among all the multiparous women of cephalic, term, singleton births, who planned vaginal delivery. The total stage of labor covered the first stage and the second stage in this study, and they were divided into subgroups. Adverse maternal outcomes were defined as referral cesarean delivery, instrumental delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, perineal laceration (III and IV degree), hospitalization stay ≥90th, and adverse neonatal outcomes as NICU, shoulder dystocia, Apgar score ≤ 7(5 min), neonatal resuscitation, assisted ventilation required immediately after delivery. Results There were 7109 parturients included in this study. The duration of first stage was 6.2(3.6–10.0) hours, the second stage was 0.3(0.2–0.7) hour, the total stage was 6.9(4.1–10.7) hours in multiparous women. At the first stage, the rates of overall adverse outcome were 21, 23.4, 28.8, 35.5, 38.4% in subgroups < 6 h, 6–11.9 h, 12–17.9 h, 18–23.9 h, ≥24 h, which increased significantly (X2 = 57.64, P < 0.001), and ARR (95% CI) were 1.10 (0.92,1.31), 1.33 (1.04,1.70), 1.80 (1.21,2.68), 2.57 (1.60,4.15) compared with subgroup < 6 h (ARR = 1); At the second stage, the rates of overall adverse outcome were 20.0, 30.7, 38.5, 61.2, 69.6% in subgroups < 1 h, 1–1.9 h, 2–2.9 h, 3–3.9 h, ≥4 h (X2 = 349.70, P < 0.001), and ARR (95% CI) were 1.89 (1.50, 2.39), 2.22 (1.55, 3.18), 10.64 (6.09, 18.59), 11.75 (6.55, 21.08) compared with subgroup < 1 h (ARR = 1)). At the total stage, the rates of overall adverse outcome were 21.5, 30.8, 42.4% in subgroups < 12 h, 12–23.9 h, ≥24 h (X2 = 84.90, P < 0.001), and ARR (95% CI) were 1.41 (1.16,1.72), 3.17 (2.10,4.80) compared with subgroup < 12 h (ARR = 1). Conclusions The prolonged stage of labor may lead to increased adverse outcomes in multiparous women, it was an independent risk factor of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Abstract Background The duration of first and second stages of labor was increased in the consensus that American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) published 2014. Studies showed increased adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in nulliparous women with prolonged second stage of labor. It is not very clear that the impact of labor stage duration on multiparous women.Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed. Cephalic, term, singleton multiparous women were included, who planned for vaginal delivery. Adverse maternal outcomes were defined as referral cesarean delivery, instrumental delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, perineal laceration (3rd and 4th degree), hospitalization stay ≥ 90%th, and adverse neonatal outcomes as NICU, shoulder dystocia, Apgar score ≤ 7(5 min), neonatal resuscitation, assisted ventilation required immediately after delivery. We defined the total stage included the first and second stage of labor.Results There were 7109 parturients included, The duration of first stage was 6.2(3.6–10.0) hours in multiparous women, the second stage was 0.3(0.2–0.7) hours, the total stage was 6.9(4.1–10.7) hours. In the first stage, the rate of overall adverse outcomes was 21%, 23.4%, 28.8%, 35.5%, 38.4% in < 6 h, 6-11.9 h, 12-17.9 h, 18-23.9 h, ≥ 24 h, increased significantly (X2 = 57.64, P๤0.001). Compared with < 6 h, ARR(95%CI) were 1.10(0.92,1.31), 1.33(1.04,1.70), 1.80(1.21,2.68), 2.57(1.60,4.15);In the second stage, the rate of overall adverse outcomes increased from 20.0%, 30.7%, 38.5%, to 61.2%, 69.6% in < 1 h, 1-1.9 h, 2-2.9 h, 3-3.9 h, ≥ 4 h (X2 = 349.70, P๤0.001). Compared with < 1 h, ARR (95% CI) were 1.89 (1.50, 2.39), 2.22 (1.55, 3.18), 10.64 (6.09, 18.59), 11.75 (6.55, 21.08); In the total stage, the rate of overall adverse outcomes were 21.5%, 30.8%, 42.4% in < 12 h, 12-23.9 h, ≥ 24 h (X2 = 84.90, P๤0.001). Compared with < 12 h, ARR (95% CI) were 1.41(1.16,1.72), 3.17 (2.10,4.80).Conclusions The prolonged labor stage may lead to increased adverse outcomes in multiparous women, even in the first stage. The duration of labor stage was an independent risk factor for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
