Abstract

Abstract : Aim: Estimate time to next birth, risk of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or stillbirth in women with primary Caesareans. Methods: Danish population-registry cohort of births from 1982–2010 (n = 833, 162). Analysis using Cox-regression models. Results: Prior Caesarean group had longer birth intervals. No increased risk of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, but significantly increased risk of stillbirth among women with a prior Caesarean. Conclusion: Prior Caesareans were associated with an increased birth interval and increased risk of stillbirth compared to vaginal deliveries.
