Obstetric Labor Complication

Pregnant surgeons experienced significantly higher rates of obstetric complications compared with the general U.S. pregnant population, according to results of a literature review.

Although midwives provide pregnant women with education and support during labor, which may result in a lower intervention likelihood, midwifery care in the U.S. is less utilized compared with other countries.

Premorbid factors including obstetric complications, personal psychiatric background and IQ may help predict which patients are at increased risk for early-onset psychosis, according to study results.
