Associations in fetal outcomes from cesarean sections with maternal comorbidities: a cross-sectional study of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System: C-sections, maternal comorbidities, and fetal outcomes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Cesarean sections (CSs) can reduce maternal and fetal risk in medically necessary cases. However, studies show that CSs are associated with negative fetal outcomes, including birth defects, low birth weight, delayed fetal resuscitation, neonatal acidosis, and even infant mortality. Maternal comorbidities play a role in determining if a CS is necessary and may contribute to negative fetal outcomes following a CS.
