Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology Feb 26, 2020
Bastola K, et al. - Researchers conducted this population-based study to examine differences in caesarean delivery and neonatal outcomes between women of migrant origin and Finnish women in Finland. The research involved data on the most recent singleton birth of women delivering between January 2004 and December 2014 (N = 382,233). According to results, women of sub-Saharan African, South Asian, and East Asian origin were at higher risk of emergency cesarean delivery, preterm birth, low birth weight, and lower five-minute Apgar scores for newborns compared with Finnish women. Compared with Finnish women, Latin American/Caribbean-origin women were at heightened risk of both elective and emergency cesarean delivery and lower five-minute Apgar scores. Overall, women of Russian/former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics origin had a lower risk of cesarean delivery and worse neonatal outcomes vs Finnish women.
