Maternal age and body mass index and risk of labor dystocia after spontaneous labor onset among nulliparous women: A clinical prediction model.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Obstetrics research has predominantly focused on the management and identification of factors associated with labor dystocia. Despite these efforts, clinicians currently lack the necessary tools to effectively predict a woman's risk of experiencing labor dystocia. Therefore, the objective of this study was to create a predictive model for labor dystocia.

Material and methods

The study population included nulliparous women with a single baby in the cephalic presentation in spontaneous labor at term. With a cohort-based registry design utilizing data from the Copenhagen Pregnancy Cohort and the Danish Medical Birth Registry, we included women who had given birth from 2014 to 2020 at Copenhagen University Hospital-Rigshospitalet, Denmark.
