Last Updated: 2021-09-16

Results Overview

Composite Adverse Neonatal Outcome includes 1 or more of any of the following: * Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission or * Neonatal hypoglycemia (\<40 mg/dL in the first 24 hours of life and less than 50 mg/dL after) or requiring medical therapy or * Respiratory distress (need for at least 4 hours of respiratory support with supplemental oxygen, continuous positive airway pressure or ventilation at the first 24 hours of life or * Shoulder dystocia - defined as the need for any extra maneuvers, other than gentle downward traction of the fetal head in order to deliver the fetal body after the fetal head has been delivered or * Large for gestational age (LGA) -weight over 90th percentile of the expected value according to gestational age or * Macrosomia- Fetal weight above 4000g

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at delivery

Population: All participants had singleton pregnancies (that is, there were no twins).

Small for gestational age (SGA) means that a fetus or an infant is smaller or less developed than normal for the baby's sex and gestational age. Small for gestational age (SGA) is defined as a birth weight that is below the 10th percentile.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 minutes after delivery

Population: All participants had singleton pregnancies (that is, there were no twins).

The Apgar score is determined by evaluating the newborn baby on each of five criteria (appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, respiration) on a scale from zero to two, then summing the five values obtained. The total score ranges from zero to 10. A higher score indicates a better outcome.
