Cesarean delivery, labor duration, and mothers' mortality risk over 50 years of follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pregnancy complications have been recognized as a window to future health. Though cesarean delivery is common, it is unknown whether labor duration and mode of delivery are associated with maternal long-term mortality.

Objective

To examine whether labor duration and mode of delivery were associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality.

Study design

Participants were mothers from the multisite Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP) cohort (1959-1966; n=43,646, limited to last CPP delivery). We ascertained all-cause and specific causes of death as of 2016 via linkage to the National Death Index and Social Security Death Master File. Hazard ratios (HR) testing mode of delivery and labor duration were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models adjust
