“…This finding remained significant in a multivariable analysis adjusting for other well-established SD risk factors such as macrosomia and GDM. The recurrence rate found in our study is consistent with previously published retrospective studies [16][17][18][19]. In previous work evaluating SD incidences during the years 1988-2008, there was a steady decline in the incidence of SD [8].…”

A Survey of Central Association Members About the Definition, Management, and Complications of Shoulder Dystocia

“…Recurrence risks for shoulder dystocia have been quoted to range from approximately 10% to 25%. 10 We found that nearly 40% of Central Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists members would allow a trial of labor in a patient with a documented history of a prior vaginal delivery complicated by shoulder dystocia.
