Background: Many young women with a history of prior cervical excision procedure have reproductive intention. However, the relationship between having a prior cervical excision procedure and delivery mode has not drawn enough attention from physicians. The aim of this study was to observe the delivery mode of women with a prior cervical excision procedure, and analyze the relationship between having a prior cervical excision procedure and delivery mode.Methods: In this retrospective cohort study of nulliparous women with a singleton pregnancy who have given birth at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University between May 2016 and April 2018, delivery mode of women with a history of prior cervical excision procedure were compared with those without such a history. Bivariable analysis were performed to identify whether there was a correlation between having a prior cervical excision procedure and delivery mode, and logistic regression were used modeling on cervical excision procedure for delivery mode outcome.Results: (1) The proportion of premature rupture of fetal membrane (38.3% vs 27.0%, p=0.034) , forceps delivery (12.2% vs 5.9%, p=0.043), and Caesarean sections delivery (33.9% vs. 30.2%,p=0.484 ) were higher among women with a prior cervical excision procedure. (2) The main indication for forceps delivery was to shorten the second stage of labor among women with a prior cervical excision procedure, significantly higher (50% vs 7.7%, p=0.033) among women without such a history. There were no differences in indications for Caesarean sections delivery in two groups (p>0.05). (3) The time interval between cervical excision procedure and pregnancy was not associated with delivery mode (p=0.445). (4) By setting spontaneous labor as control, forceps delivery was associated with cervical excision procedure (OR=0.403, 95%CI=0.179-0.906, p=0.028).Conclusions: Our findings revealed a relationship between having a prior cervical excision procedure and delivery mode. Women with a prior cervical excision procedure were at an increased risk of forceps delivery. The time interval between cervical excision procedure and pregnancy did not affect delivery mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
