Risk of adverse perinatal outcomes by time of day. a Risk of perinatal death by hour of decision making. The risk of perinatal death was significantly higher than average for neonates where the decision to deliver by emergency cesarean section was made at night (20:00–02:00) and significantly lower than average where the decision was made in the morning (08:00–12:00), p < 0.01. b Risk of perinatal death by hour of delivery. The risk of perinatal death was significantly higher than average for neonates delivered at night (24:00–08:00) and significantly lower than average where delivery was in the afternoon (14:00–18:00), p < 0.05. c) Risk of neonatal death by hour of decision making. The risk of neonatal death was significantly higher than average for neonates where the decision to deliver by emergency cesarean section was made at night (24:00–02:00) and significantly lower than average where the decision was made in the morning (06:00–12:00), p < 0.05. d) Risk of neonatal death by hour of delivery. The risk of neonatal death was not significantly higher than average for neonates delivered at night, however, was significantly lower than average where delivery was in the afternoon (13:00–17:00), p < 0.05
