Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim To determine whether vaginal delivery or caesarean delivery is associated with a better neonatal outcome in preterm infants (30–36 weeks). Design All cases admitted to H.M.CH, Labour room between 2014 and 2016 were identified, details of the mother, delivery route, intrapartum monitoring, APGAR score, details of resuscitation of the baby, neonatal progress were noted.
