Claims that the outcomes <strong>for</strong> planned<br />
vaginal deliveries may be no worse than<br />
planned Caesarean sections, given<br />
appropriate selection criteria and<br />
management. There was no difference<br />
in perinatal mortality. Low Apgar scores<br />
were more common on vaginal delivery<br />
group but traumatic morbidity was not.<br />
Maternal morbidity was higher in<br />
Caesarean section group.<br />
Maternal birth canal and genital tract<br />
lacerations were significantly more<br />
common in <strong>for</strong>ceps delivery. There was<br />
increased infant morbidity and mortality<br />
from vacuum extraction deliveries but<br />
overall vacuum extraction was<br />
recommended.<br />
There was no significant difference in<br />
intrapartum death and early neonatal<br />
mortality between those who delivered<br />
vaginally and those who delivered by<br />
Caesarean section (16.6 vs 15.6%). So<br />
even with optimum neonatal care<br />
facilities, Caesarean section does not<br />
offer any advantage over vaginal<br />
delivery in a developing country.<br />
What are the effects of different models of delivery <strong>for</strong> improving maternal and infant health outcomes <strong>for</strong> poor people in urban areas in low income<br />
and lower middle income countries?<br />
