BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth May 12, 2018
Pirjani R, et al. - A comparison was performed of neonatal complications in scheduled cesarean sections (CS) between 38 and 39 gestational weeks with CS performed after 39 gestational weeks in Iranian low -risk pregnant women. Researchers conducted this prospective cohort study at a university hospital (Arash Hospital, Tehran, Iran) from April 2013 to April 2015 including all term singleton pregnancies (≥38 gestational weeks) scheduled for elective CS. Findings revealed a higher rate of transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and NICU admission in association with elective CS at 38–9 weeks’ gestation in comparison with elective CS performed after 39 completed gestational weeks.
