Complications and Route of Delivery in a Large Cohort Study of HIV-1-Infected Women-IMPAACT P1025.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate complications of cesarean section in a cohort of HIV-infected pregnant women.

Methods

IMPAACT P1025 is a prospective cohort study of HIV-1-infected women and infants, enrolled 2002-2013, at clinical sites in the United States and Puerto Rico. Demographic, medical, and obstetric data were collected and analyzed including cesarean indications. The delivery route was categorized as elective cesarean (ECS) (before labor and <5 minutes before membrane rupture), nonelective cesarean (NECS) (all other cesareans) or vaginal delivery. Logistic regression models evaluated associations between delivery route and maternal intrapartum/postpartum morbidities. Composite morbidity of vaginal delivery was compared with ECS and NECS.
