Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to assess maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients with polyhydramnios attempting trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) compared to those undergoing planned repeat cesarean delivery (PRCD).
Methods
A multi-center retrospective cohort study was conducted and included women with term singleton viable pregnancies following a single low-segment transverse cesarean delivery (CD) with a polyhydramnios diagnosis (maximal vertical pocket > 8 cm and/or Amniotic Fluid Index > 24 cm) within 14 days before birth who delivered between the years 2017 and 2021. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared between those attempting TOLAC and those opting for PRCD. The primary outcome was composite adverse maternal. Univariate analysis was followed by multivariate analysis to control for potential confounders.
Results
Out of 358 included births with a previous CD, 208 (58.1%) attempted TOLAC, while 150 had PRCD (41.9%). The successful vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) rate was 82.2%, and no cases of uterine rupture, hysterectomy, or maternal intensive care unit admission occurred in either group. After controlling for potential confounders, no independent association between TOLAC and composite adverse maternal (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.32–1.20, p = 0.16) and neonatal (aOR 0.89, 95% CI 0.51–1.53, p = 0.67) adverse outcomes was demonstrated.
Conclusion
In patients with a term diagnosed polyhydramnios, TOLAC appears to be a reasonable alternative associated with favorable outcomes. Larger prospective studies are needed to refine management strategies and enhance maternal and neonatal outcomes in this context.
