Foetal Morbidity Depending on the Day and Time of Delivery.

Conclusion The time of delivery at night or at the weekend/on a public holiday increases the risk for cord arterial pH < 7.1 by ~ 30% compared with delivery on a weekday. However, the time of delivery at night or at the weekend/on a public holiday does not increase the risk for the baby of having a 5-minute Apgar score ≤ 5. PMID: 30158717 [PubMed]
