Funded Activity Summary

8% of all births are by caesarean section (CS) for slow labour. Bringing on labour just before the due date reduces the chance of CS but we can’t do this for all women. We have a way to predict high risk of CS for slow labour to select women who may benefit from bringing on the labour. We will perform a study where the women at high risk have can have the labour brought on slightly early. The project could result in 6,000 fewer CSs in Australia alone and prevent many complications of CS.
