A Predictive Model for Cesarean Among Low‐Risk Nulliparous Women in Spontaneous Labor at Hospital Admission

Abstract

Among nulliparous women without apparent risk for cesarean at the time of hospital admission, cesarean delivery can be predicted with 70 percent accuracy using routinely collected information. Tailoring intrapartum care to promote vaginal birth according to a prediction model for cesarean risk deserves further study among apparently low risk women.
