AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of delivery method on the likelihood of overweight or obesity in infants, using a cohort of 294 infants and their mothers from Rize Province.
- Findings indicated that infants delivered via Caesarean Section had a higher risk of being overweight or obese by age 2, with an odds ratio of 2.06 before adjustments and 1.93 after accounting for other variables.
- This research is significant as it is the first prospective cohort study to highlight the association between Caesarean delivery and increased obesity risk in Turkish children, suggesting a need for further investigation into this relationship.
Article Abstract
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to reveal the effect of mode of delivery, independently of other confounders, on the risk of overweight or obesity in infants (age-sex-specific body mass index ≥ 85th percentile). In total, 294 infants born in the Rize Province between November 1 2013, and September 30 2014, and their mothers were included; all infants attended well-child visits with the same family physician for up to two years. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine significant associations. The odds ratio (OR) of overweight and obese children aged 2 years in association with the mode of delivery was estimated by logistic regression analysis. In crude analysis, compared with vaginal delivery, the use of Caesarean Section delivery was associated with the risk of childhood overweight or obesity [OR: 2.06; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08-4.30]. Even after multivariate adjustment, this increased risk persisted (adjusted OR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.13-4.18). In conclusion, significantly increased risk of overweight or obesity was found in 2-year-old children born via Caesarean delivery.Impact statement Although there are studies on the relationship between childhood obesity and Caesarean Section delivery, results are inconsistent. This is the first prospective cohort study showing the effect of Caesarean delivery on childhood obesity in Turkish children. Future studies should further investigate the exact reasons underlying the association between Caesarean delivery and childhood metabolic syndrome.

Background: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most common type of congenital spinal malformation, typically requiring surgical intervention. While prenatal repair is increasingly favored, postnatal repair remains the standard in many settings. This study aims to evaluate the antibiotics prescribed to neonates with MMC and their correlation with central nervous system (CNS) infection rates following postnatal surgical repair.

AbstractMorning Report is a time-honored tradition where physicians-in-training present cases to their colleagues and clinical experts to collaboratively examine an interesting patient presentation. The Morning Report section seeks to carry on this tradition by presenting a patient's chief concern and story, inviting the reader to develop a differential diagnosis and discover the diagnosis alongside the authors of the case. This report examines the story of a 26-year-old woman who developed acute hepatocellular liver injury following a cesarean delivery for fetal distress.

The benefits and risks of delivery should always be considered before initiating preinduction cervical ripening and labor induction. Understanding the benefits and potential complications is crucial for healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and provide optimal care. The research was conducted retrospectively between January 2019 and July 2022.
