New research from @PerlLabMac reveals second-stage cesarean and assisted vaginal births show similar long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. @McMasterOBGYN @HEI_mcmaster @sarkalis @NedaRazaz
Among full-term children born after #vacuum or sequential instrument delivery, rates of ADHD and intellectual disability were marginally higher vs second-stage cesarean, but #ASD rates did not differ significantly between delivery groups. ja.ma/4qRwDAk
ALT Three graphs show cumulative incidence (%) vs. age (y) for developmental disorders. Graph A: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; B: autism spectrum disorder; C: intellectual disability. Vacuum, sequential, forceps, and SSCD are compared.
Latest @PerlLabMac publication exploring the intersection of race/ethnicity and immigration status and infant mortality in the US.
Among US births, infant mortality rates were higher for US-born compared to non–US-born birthing individuals, with sudden unexpected infant death as a major contributor. ja.ma/4q5LyX0
