2020, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :The gut microbiome has a major influence on metabolism through its role in nutrition [45]. By 2008 it had become clear that elective Caesarean section (before labour) is associated with increases in diabetes, asthma, allergy, and obesity in the offspring [46]. This mode of delivery was subsequently shown to be associated with a marked influence on the microbiome of the newborn [47], with a particular initial paucity of Bifidobacterium [48].

2014, The LancetCitation Excerpt :India, despite its recent economic development, has a high maternal mortality rate with high inequalities related to poverty. High rates of elective caesarean sections without medical indication are associated with various poor perinatal outcomes,14,171,–175 and draw scarce resources from community based primary care and prevention. A WHO study19 identified 3·2 million additional caesarean sections annually were needed in low-income countries, whereas at the same time, about 6·2 million unnecessary caesarean sections were being done in middle-income and high-income countries.
Methods of achieving and maintaining an appropriate caesarean section rate
2013, Best Practice and Research: Clinical Obstetrics and GynaecologyCitation Excerpt :At present, no accepted classification system exists for caesarean sections.20 This is quite extraordinary considering the continuing volume of literature on the subject and the concern voiced by governments about the rise in the numbers of caesarean sections and possible implications on woman's health.21–24 Many descriptive studies have been published, but no standard classification system has been used that fits the principles described above, and that has been used to make changes in specific prospective groups of women.
A Case Study of Maternal Response to the Implied Antepartum Diagnosis of Inevitable Labor Dystocia
2013, JOGNN - Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal NursingCitation Excerpt :Neonates have demonstrated increased incidence of persistent pulmonary hypertension (Winovitch, Pakilla, Ghamsary, Lagrew, & Wing, 2011), respiratory morbidity, special care admissions, and mortality (De Luca, Boulvain, Irion, Berner, & Pfister, 2009). Long‐term potential risks of cesarean for the newborn include breastfeeding difficulties (Zanardo et al., 2010) and increased likelihood of developing asthma and Type I diabetes (Steer & Modi, 2009). Large cohort studies over the past decade have produced conflicting evidence regarding the relationship of repeat cesareans to stillbirths and highlight the need for more investigation of this potentially devastating outcome (Clark & Silver, 2011).
