Risk of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth following preterm full dilatation cesarean delivery
Women undergoing FDCD following preterm labor have a significantly higher risk of recurrent sPTB at <37 and <34 weeks of gestation compared to women with previous preterm vaginal birth or CD prior to the second stage of labor. These findings suggest that preterm FDCD may further compromise cervical function. It is important that clinicians are aware of this increased risk of recurrent sPTB to guide patient counseling and management accordingly.
