“…The studies that pooled data were generally from the longer running cohorts, particularly the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, the Christchurch Health and Development Study and the Raine Study. The majority of the articles reported on pooled data with international studies, with only one based on Australian studies [ 105 ]. Nine articles pooled data from two different birth cohort studies [ 106 – 112 ], 2 articles reported on data from 3 cohort studies [ 113 , 114 ], one article reported on data from four birth cohort studies [ 115 ] and one article reported on data from 5 birth cohort studies [ 116 ].…”

BackgroundThe longitudinal birth cohort design has yielded a substantial contribution to knowledge of child health and development. The last full review in New Zealand and Australia in 2004 identified 13 studies. Since then, birth cohort designs continue to be an important tool in understanding how intrauterine, infant and childhood development affect long-term health and well-being. This updated review in a defined geographical area was conducted to better understand the factors associated with successful quality and productivity, and greater scientific and policy contribution and scope.MethodsWe adopted the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) approach, searching PubMed, Scopus, Cinahl, Medline, Science Direct and ProQuest between 1963 and 2013. Experts were consulted regarding further studies. Five inclusion criteria were used: (1) have longitudinally tracked a birth cohort, (2) have collected data on the child and at least one parent or caregiver (3) be based in Australia or New Zealand, (4) be empirical in design, and (5) have been published in English.Results10665 records were initially retrieved from which 23 birth cohort studies met the selection criteria. Together these studies recruited 91,196 participants, with 38,600 mothers, 14,206 fathers and 38,390 live births. Seventeen studies were located in Australia and six in New Zealand. Research questions initially focused on the perinatal period, but as studies matured, longer-term effects and outcomes were examined.ConclusionsThis review demonstrates the significant yield from this effort both in terms of scientific discovery and social policy impact. Further opportunities have been recognised with cross-study collaboration and pooling of data between established and newer studies and international studies to investigate global health determinants.

“…Complicated labor was defined as having at least one of the following criteria: (1) induction of labor, (2) augmentation of labor, (3) non-vertex presentation, (4) instrument delivery, (5) CD, (6) postpartum hemorrhage, (7) an Apgar score at 5 min of less than 7, (8) neonatal umbilical artery pH of less than 7.1 and (9) base excess of more than 12 [1,17].…”

“…Complicated delivery is defined as one that deviates from spontaneous onset, without the need for induction or augmentation, resulting with no maternal or fetal complications, i.e., vertex vaginal delivery, normal fetal Apgar scores, fetus not requiring intensive care hospitalisation and surviving at 28 days post delivery [1]. Complicated labors inherently result in medical, psychological and financial consequences.…”

The present study aimed to investigate factors predicting uncomplicated deliveries and specifically whether a sense of coherence (SOC) and perceived stress can predict such deliveries. A prospective observational study was conducted employing self-administered SOC and perceived stress scale (PSS) questionnaires with pregnant women attending the outpatient clinic for routine surveillance. Following delivery, data regarding maternal and fetal delivery complications were collected from the participants' medical records. Of one hundred forty-five women completing the study, 43.4% completed the delivery process without complications. Women experiencing delivery complications, on average, had lower SOC scores (67.7 +/- 1.19 vs. 72.2 +/- 1.32, p = 0.014). Maternal complications (as opposed to fetal complications) accounted for this divergence and were related to lower SOC scores (67.74 +/- 1.19 vs. 72.18 +/- 1.32, p = 0.01). PSS was not associated with uncomplicated delivery (18.82 +/- 0.59 vs. 17.98 +/- 0.62, p = 0.341). Nulliparity, however, was associated with higher occurrence of complicated delivery (31.9% of complicated vs. 13.2% of uncomplicated deliveries, p = 0.007). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that high SOC (OR = 1.042; 95% CI = 1.004-1.08; p = 0.03) and nulliparity (OR = 0.293; 95% CI = 0.113-0.758; p = 0.011) both were independent predictors of uncomplicated delivery, directly and inversely, respectively. In conclusion, higher SOC scores are an independent protective factor for the prediction of uncomplicated delivery.

“…Most predictive models have poor positive predictive values [5] and include intrapartum factors like augmentation of labor, meconium staining of amniotic fluid, etc. [6,7,8]. These cannot be anticipated at admission to labor room and therefore cannot be used for predetermining the level of care.…”
