Comparative StudyCesarean section with relative indications versus spontaneous vaginal delivery: short-term outcomes of maternofetal health.
The aim of the study was to compare maternal and perinatal mortality and short-term outcomes of maternal and perinatal health between a cesarean group with relative indications and a vaginal delivery group. ⋯ Short-term maternal complications were more frequently seen in cesarean deliveries with relative indications than spontanous vaginal deliveries but no difference was found in perinatal mortality and morbidity. There is a clear need for research on health outcomes for mothers and infants associated with cesarean delivery without any medical indication.
