New Analysis Reveals Significant Benefits to Supporting Vaginal Birth After Cesarean
Summary
Different to previous analyses, our work was based on an observational study specifically devised to obtain maternal and perinatal outcome probabilities.The determination of the exact cost-effectiveness over the life course would require a separate more complex model taking into account uncertainties of future reproduction.” Highlighting the timeliness of this study, George R. Saade, Editor-in-Chief of the “American Journal of Perinatology” comments, “This publication by Sharon Gilbert and her colleagues clearly demonstrates that it is much more cost-effective to attempt for vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean than repeating a cesarean in a subsequent pregnancy.New York, NY, February 06, 2013 --( PR.com )-- A highly significant study on the cost effectiveness of trial of labor following previous cesarean (TOLAC) has just been published in the “American Journal of Perinatology.” Sharon A.
