Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed maternal and infant health outcomes following cesarean sections (CS) compared to vaginal deliveries using data from a large U.S. healthcare claims database for the years 2019 and 2020.
- Results indicated that cesarean deliveries were associated with higher rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) both at 42 days and 360 days post-delivery, with significant odds ratios indicating increased risk compared to vaginal births.
- Additionally, infants born via CS showed higher prevalence of various adverse health outcomes by 360 days, particularly respiratory issues, although maternal and infant mortality rates were low in both delivery methods.
