Appendix 4.1<br />

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 />
