Asphyxia, Neurologic Morbidity, and Perinatal Mortality in Early-Term and Postterm Birth
Laura Seikku,Mika Gissler,Sture Andersson,Petri Rahkonen,Vedran Stefanovic,Minna Tikkanen,Jorma Paavonen,Leena Rahkonen +7 more
TL;DR: Early-term birth was associated with low Apgar score, increased neurologic morbidity, and perinatal mortality and asphyxia and intellectual disability were more common among postterm births, but general neurologic mortality and per inatal mortality were not increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Georg Macharey,Mika Gissler,Leena Rahkonen,Veli-Matti Ulander,Mervi Väisänen-Tommiska,Mika Nuutila,Seppo Heinonen +6 more
TL;DR: The study showed that breech presentation at term on its own was significantly associated with antenatal stillbirth and a number of individual obstetric risk factors for adverse perinatal outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal childbirth experience in induced and spontaneous labour measured in a visual analog scale and the factors influencing it; a two-year cohort study.
TL;DR: Poor childbirth experience was associated with labor induction, primiparity, operative delivery, and labor complications, such as post-partum hemorrhage and maternal infections, and the aspects of care for which patient experience may be improved by additional support and counselling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heidi Kruit,Oskari Heikinheimo,V-M Ulander,Ansa Aitokallio-Tallberg,Irmeli Nupponen,Jorma Paavonen,Leena Rahkonen +6 more
