Fetal head station during artificial rupture of membranes: a large retrospective cohort study
Lower fetal head station at AROM is associated with shorter time to delivery as well as lower rates of cesarean delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, NICU admission, and 5-min Apgar ≤ 7. Fetal head station should be considered alongside cervical dilation during AROM. Our findings underscore the necessity for personalized timing of AROM, especially in multiparous women, to enhance maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
