[Cesarean section on demand--an equivalent alternative to spontaneous delivery?].

Due to advances in perioperative management, surgical techniques as well as anaesthesia, caesarean section has become a very safe intervention for mother and child. In certain high-risk situations, an early delivery by caesarean section can prevent serous morbidity and mortality of the fetus and newborn. It has been postulated that a planned caesarean section is a true alternative to vaginal birth, and in the absence of a specific medical reason the woman's demand may be an indication for the operation. A critical review of studies based on large regional perinatal datasets shows that the risk for minor as well as serious complications in the mother and the newborn is increased after planned caesarean section. Serious consequences for subsequent pregnancies like uterine rupture or placenta praevia, which may be associated with accreta or abruptio of the placenta, are of major concern. On the other hand, trauma to the pelvic floor with urinary or anal incontinence is more frequent after vaginal birth. The balance of these risks including the very rare cases of severe intrapartal asphyxia, which might be prevented by a planned caesarean section, must be carefully evaluated together with the patient on an individual basis. These risks must be carefully balanced and the final decision about the type of delivery requires a detailed informed consent.critical review of studies based on large regional perinatal datasets shows that the risk for minor as well as serious complications in the mother and the newborn is increased after planned caesarean section.

Smoking, sex of the offspring, and risk of placental abruption, placenta previa, and preeclampsia: a population-based cohort study.

BACKGROUND: : Placental abruption, placenta previa, and preeclampsia are serious pregnancy complications with an increased risk of perinatal death. Smoking during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of abruption and placenta previa, and it reduces the risk of preeclampsia. We examined the association between mothers' smoking habits during pregnancy, taking the sex of the offspring into consideration, and the risk and prognosis of placental abruption, placenta previa, and preeclampsia METHODS: : We conducted the study in the County of North Jutland, Denmark. Using the 10-digit personal identification number given to every Danish citizen at birth, we linked data from the Danish Medical Birth Registry, including information on mother and child, to data from the Pharmaco-Epidemiological Prescription Database with data on all reimbursed prescriptions to use selected drugs as a proxy measure for some maternal diseases, and data from the Regional Hospital Discharge Registry, including the discharge diagnoses. Among 47,932 singleton births we included only births for which we had information about the mothers' smoking habits, leaving 46,313 births for analysis. RESULTS: : Smoking was associated with the risk of placental abruption (OR=1.99 (95% CI 1.72-2.30)) and placenta previa (OR=1.88 (95% CI 1.15-3.07)). Smoking was inversely associated with the risk of preeclampsia (OR=0.55 (95% CI 0.48-0.62)). After stratification for the sex of the offspring the risk estimate of smoking as risk factor for placenta previa decreased for male fetuses (OR=1.63 (95% CI 0.75-3.51)) and increased for female fetuses (OR=4.82 (95% CI 1.69-13.75)). CONCLUSION: : Female fetuses are more vulnerable than male to the negative effect of maternal smoking on placenta previa.
