Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of fetal head circumference (HC) on obstetric outcomes compared to birthweight (BW) during term singleton births.
- The research analyzes data from over 24,000 births to assess risks of unplanned cesarean sections and other complications for infants with large HC versus high BW.
- Results indicate that infants with large HC have significantly higher odds of unplanned cesarean and instrumental deliveries compared to those with normal HC, while high BW has a less pronounced effect on delivery mode.
