Delivery outcome after trial of labor in nulliparous women 40 years or older – a nationwide population‐based study
ConclusionsTrial of labor ended in vaginal delivery in 79% of nulliparous women ≥40 years. The risks of intrapartum cesarean section and operative vaginal delivery were higher in women ≥40 years compared with women 25‐29 years, both after spontaneous onset and induction of labor. The risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury or 5‐minutes Apgar score<7 was not increased.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
