Estimating the Mode of Delivery through Cause Analysis A Systematic Literature Review on the context of Reducing Cesarean

In developing countries, many health workers force pregnant women in private hospitals having baby through cesarean delivery, even though most pregnant mothers are skeptical about the risk of going under such operations. Doctors often encourage pregnant mothers to have a cesarean on the basis of their physical condition and medical reports. Emergency cesarean patient cannot be prepared in advance but on real time, If a system can be developed that can forecast whether a woman need natural or cesarean delivery, then rate of the risk of the pregnant women get reduce. To design such system, we need to know what factors influences the doctors to choose cesarean over normal delivery. We have conducted a systematic review in well-known databases to understand the various factors of pregnant mothers. A total of 19 studies were selected among 2512 studies based on the relevancy to the research objective. The objective of this study is to predict the mode of delivery based on 10 specific parameters identified separately from 180 parameters present in various test reports.

Abstract Background We report a case in which a list of high-risk pregnant women on cloud-based business communication tools was useful in formulating an anesthetic plan for unscheduled cesarean section. Case presentation A 37-year-old woman, who had been prescribed icosapentate for hypertriglyceridemia, received an antenatal anesthetic evaluation for possible cesarean delivery, and it was agreed that the anesthetic method for emergency cesarean section was general anesthesia if the surgery would take place within 7 days after the discontinuation of the drug, and regional anesthesia if it would take place any time later. Then this agreement was uploaded on the cloud-based business communication tools, and updated until she delivered her baby via unscheduled cesarean section. Conclusions A cloud-based business communication tools was useful in formulating an anesthesia plan for a patient undergoing a cesarean delivery. However, more discussion would be needed to utilize it in security.

Objective This study aims to compare melatonin levels in colostrum between vaginal and cesarean delivery. Study Design This cross-sectional study was conducted with 139 mothers who gave live births between February 2016 and December 2016. The mothers were divided into three groups according to the mode of delivery: 60 mothers (43.2%) in the vaginal delivery group, 47 mothers (33.8%) in the elective cesarean delivery, and 32 mothers (23.0%) in the emergency cesarean delivery group. Colostrum of the mothers was taken between 01:00 and 03:00 a.m. within 48 to 72 hours following the delivery, and the melatonin levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared between the groups. Results The melatonin levels in the colostrum were the highest in the vaginal delivery group, lower in the elective cesarean section group, and the lowest in the emergency cesarean group (265.7 ± 74.3, 204.9 ± 55.6, and 167.1 ± 48.1, respectively; p < 0.001). The melatonin levels in the colostrum did not differ according to the demographic characteristics of the mothers, gestational age, birth weight, newborn sex, the Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration (APGAR) scores, and for the requirement for neonatal intensive care. Conclusion Our study results showed that melatonin levels in the colostrum of the mothers who delivered vaginally were higher than those who delivered by cesarean section. Considering the known benefits of melatonin for the newborns, we believe that vaginal delivery poses an advantage.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe characteristics of pregnant women at risk and analyze the relationship with type of delivery and complications during pregnancy and puerperium. Methods: a retrospective study with secondary data of 1,574 at-risk pregnant women followed up in an educational intervention by telemedicine. Results: pregnant women with an average age of 35 years and high educational level participated. Preference for normal delivery was 43.1%, but only 17.3% had normal delivery. During pregnancy, 43.5% sought emergency care. In the postpartum period, 2.0% needed an ICU. Emergency room search was associated with age and contacts with the intervention. Cesarean delivery was associated with age, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity. ICU admission was associated with age and BMI. Conclusion: pregnant women were of high age and education, the younger and who had more contacts with the intervention sought more the emergency room. Older age, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity were factors associated with cesarean delivery.

Recently elective cesarean delivery rates have increased alongside with emergency cesarean delivery where less information has been conveyed to the women who have been subjected to C-sections. The main objective of C-section is reducing the incidence of maternal and neonatal mortality during childbirth in dangerous situations. It is recommended when there is a risk to mother or child during vaginal delivery. A descriptive type of cross-sectional study design was used. All the data were collected through structured format in questionnaires. The present study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Chittagong Medical College Hospital. The data was collected from 29th September 2019 to 10th October 2019. Most of the patients who were subjected to c section were within the age range of 15-25 (57%). 41% of the cesarean sections were planned whereas 59% were on the basis of emergency and mostly the decision was doctor’s (66%). 58% of the population had enough information before undergoing C-sections and 42% wasn’t fully aware. Among pain medication intake, only 2% of the patients had taken a combination of three pain medications which include paracetamol, metronidazole and suppository. 80% of the patients consumed a combination of paracetamol and suppository whereas only 10% of population consumed paracetamol and metronidazole. 8% of the patients were managed only with paracetamol. 23% of the cesarean patients had a previous history of ceaser and among them some rare special cases had a previous history of 4 ceasers (2%). 43% of the patients suffered pregnancy induced hypertension and 8% suffered pregnancy induced diabetes. 20% of the c section were due to breech presentation and 80% were due to other reasons which included seventeen factors. Patients are not given enough information about C-section and mostly the decisions are taken by the doctors without the consent of the patients.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the obstetric and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women delivering large for gestational age (LGA) infants. Material and Methods: A total of 399 pregnant women giving birth to LGA infants in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of Dicle University Medical Faculty Hospital between January 2014 and December 2018 were included in this retrospective study. Demographic features, pregnancy and infant data, delivery type (vaginal delivery/cesarean delivery), and patients’ indications for cesarean section were assessed. Results: The mean age of the patients was 32.34±6.63, their gravida was 5.16±2.65 and parity was 3.55±2.36. The mean gestational week was 37.12±2.840 weeks and the mean birth weight was 3922.46±643.546 g. Of all patients, diabetes was detected in 28.5%, polyhydramnios in 11.3%, placental invasion anomaly in 4%, and preeclampsia in 9%. While 83.7% (334) of the patients underwent cesarean section, the remaining 16.3% (65) underwent normal delivery. 3.25% (13) of the patients developed complications during delivery. The rate of fetal anomaly was 11.7% (47) in existing pregnancies while the rate of fetal death was 5.01% (20). Conclusion: A cesarean delivery was performed in the majority of pregnant women with a suspected LGA infant. This group of patients exhibited a very high rate of gestational diabetes mellitus and diabetes mellitus. Existing pregnancies constitute a specifical pregnancy population that should be taken into consideration regarding probable complications and problems with the infant.
