946: Predictive value of striae gravidarum score for pelvic adhesions at repeat cesarean delivery

Abstract

Cox hazards models were employed to control for potential confounders. RESULTS: Crude rates of total respiratory hospitalizations were found to be significantly higher in the CD as compared to the VD group (OR¼1.238; 95%CI, 1.06-1.43, p¼0.006; Table). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed significantly higher cumulative hospitalization rates in the CD group as compared to the VD group (log rank p 0.001; Figure). Using a Cox proportional hazards model, adjusted for birthweight, preeclampsia, diabetes, smoking, induction of labor and obesity, the association remained significant (Adjusted HR¼ 1.212, 95%CI 1.401-1.048, p¼0.009). CONCLUSION: Cesarean delivery appears to significantly impact future respiratory health of the offspring in a sibling analysis. Mode of delivery appears to play a major role in the future respiratory health of a child.
