- CS Cesarean section, VD Vaginal delivery
- Adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95%-CI) represent the result of a generalized estimating equation, accounting for maternal age, parity, previous CS, gestational age at delivery, presentation at delivery, antenatal corticosteroids use and for the correlation between infants from the same pregnancy
- aSerious neonatal morbidity: birth trauma (long-bone fracture, other bone fracture, facial-nerve injury at 72 h of age or at discharge, intracerebral hemorrhage); Apgar score < 4 at 5 min; neurological (≥ 2 seizures before 72 h of age; coma; stupor or decreased response to pain); respiratory (assisted ventilation for ≥24 h by endotracheal tube, inserted before 72 h of age; bronchopulmonary dysplasia); neonatal sepsis before 72 h of age; necrotizing enterocolitis; grade III or IV intraventricular hemorrhage and cystic periventricular leukomalacia
