Kino T, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers compared the frequency of maternal adverse outcome between preterm emergency cesarean delivery and term emergency cesarean delivery in order to assess the adverse effect of preterm cesarean delivery, with a focus on maternal bleeding. This analysis included 947 preterm cases and 1,056 full-term cases. The investigators analyzed the frequency of abnormal bleeding, defined as ≥ 1,500 mL, as primary outcome; blood transfusion rate and rate of postoperative administration of antibiotics were the secondary outcome. Findings revealed significantly higher rates of abnormal bleeding and transfusion and use of antibiotics among preterm cesarean delivery vs term cesarean delivery.
