Risk factors for shoulder dystocia‐related brachial plexus injuries: A case–control study
Birthweight ≥4000 g, maternal diabetes, height ≤160 cm, and vacuum extraction independently increased the risk of SD BPI. Notably, 14.7% of all BPI cases occurred in the absence of both shoulder dystocia and birthweight ≥4000 g.
