Multivariable mixed effects models and weighted propensity score models were used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) by observed MOD and the unit&#8217;s policy regarding MOD. Population: Singleton vertex-presenting live births at 24 + 0 to 31 + 6 weeks of gestation without serious congenital anomalies, preeclampsia, HELLP or eclampsia, antenatal detection of growth restriction and prelabour CS for fetal or maternal indications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results:&nbsp;<\/strong>Main outcome measures: A composite of in-hospital mortality and intraventricular haemorrhage (grade III\/IV) or periventricular leukomalacia. Secondary outcomes were components of the primary outcome, 5 min Apgar score &lt;7 and moderate to severe neurodevelopmental impairment at two years of corrected age. The rate of CS was 29.6% but varied greatly between countries (8.0-52.6%). MOD was not associated with the primary outcome (aOR for CS 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65-1.50) when comparing units with a systematic policy of CS or no policy of MOD to units with a policy of vaginal delivery (aOR 0.88; 95% CI 0.59-1.32). No association was observed for two-year neurodevelopment impairment for CS (aOR 1.15; 95% CI 0.66-2.01) or unit policies (aOR 1.04; 95% CI 0.63-1.70).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusions:&nbsp;<\/strong>Among singleton vertex-presenting live births without medical complications requiring a CS at 24 + 0 to 31 + 6 weeks of gestation, CS was not associated with improved neonatal or long-term outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J Perinat Med. 2021 Jul 20. doi: 10.1515\/jpm-2020-0468.
