- Abstract
The HC/MH ratio proved to be independently associated with CS due to intrapartum dystocia (p < 0.01) at logistic regression analysis; the AUC of the HC/MH ratio for CS due to labour dystocia was 0.742, 95%CI (0.666-0.819), p < 0.01. To evaluate the relationship between the fetal head circumference (HC) to maternal height (MH) ratio (HC/MH ratio) MH ratio measured close to delivery and the occurrence of Caesarean section (CS) for labour dystocia. Conclusions Data on a wide cohort of unselected pregnancies showed a fair accuracy of the HC/MH ratio in the prediction of labour dystocia leading to CS.
