Time to delivery, length of hospital stay, use of indomethacin, delivery before 37 weeks of GA, mean term of delivery and failure of tocolysis to prevent delivery were compared to fibronectin test results.
Market demand in addition to the price can depend on other variables such as brand name, quality of product or delivery length, but here we focus on a model the demand of which is sensitive only to the product price.
In this specific study of women in labour, two measurements were identified as having clinical significance for achieving optimal outcomes during labour and delivery: length of labour and frequency of requirement for analgesia.
It contains information on foetal presentation, earlier pregnancies, delivery, length, birth weight and weeks of gestation.
Assessment at the time of delivery will include maternal weight gain, type of delivery, length of stay during hospitalization, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, and Apgar scores.
Delivery length: The number of scheduled face-to-face sessions and/or distal (non face-to-face) sessions was recorded, if available.
Secondary outcomes were delivery by caesarean section, instrumental vaginal delivery, length of stay in the neonatal intensive care or neonatal ward, length of stay in the maternal hospital, and maternal morbidity.
Biomedical pregnancy and delivery data extracted from the medical records of each mother and newborn included medical complications, type of delivery, length of gestation, birth weight, birth length, and head circumference.
Secondary outcome measures are mode of delivery and time until delivery, length of admittance at the neonatal intensive care, maternal morbidity, hospitalisation of the mother for fetal and maternal surveillance, quality of life, and costs.
Stage 2: Birth At the time of birth, details including birth outcomes for the mother and baby (e.g. type of delivery, APGAR scores, problems during delivery, length of stay) are collected.
The second aim of the study was to investigate the implications of persistent OPP during labour in terms of the mode of delivery, length of labour, and analgesia request rate.
