Predictors of success of trial of labor after cesarean section: A nested case-control study at public hospitals in Eastern Ethiopia.

Background: One of the primary reasons for an increase in cesarean sections is obstetricians' uncertainty about labor trial safety following a previous cesarean section. The success rate of vaginal birth after cesarean section with a single cesarean scar is greater than 50%. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is a scarcity of information on the determinants of vaginal birth after cesarean delivery in the study area.

Adverse Neonatal Outcome are More Common among Babies Born by Cesarean Section than Naturally Born Babies at Public Hospitals in Eastern Ethiopia: A Comparative Prospective Follow-Up Study at Eastern Ethiopia.

The adverse neonatal outcome is defined as the presence of birth asphyxia, respiratory distress, birth trauma, hypothermia, meconium aspiration syndrome, neonatal intensive care admission, and neonatal death. It is a major concern in developing countries, including Ethiopia. This study tried to identify predictors of adverse neonatal outcomes at selected public hospitals in Eastern Ethiopia.
