Abstract:
Background. The Active Management of Risk in Pregnancy at Term (AMOR-IPAT) protocol has been associated in several studies with significant reductions of group cesarean delivery rate. Present within each of these studies were nulliparous women with risk factors for cephalopelvic disproportion. Risk factors for cephalopelvic disproportion in nulliparous women are especially important because they represent the precursors for the most common indication for primary cesarean delivery.Cases. Three examples of exposure of urban nulliparous women to the AMOR-IPAT protocol are presented. Each woman's risk factor profile for Cephalopelvic Disproportion (CPD) was used to estimate her Upper Limit of Optimal Time of Vaginal Delivery for CPD (UL-OTDcpd). Labor management and clinical outcomes for each case are presented. A simple table summarizing induction rates and birth outcome rates of exposed versus nonexposed nulliparous women is also presented.Conclusion. Because the mode of delivery of the first birth substantially impacts birth options in later pregnancies, the impact of AMOR-IPAT on nulliparous patients is particularly important. Determining the UL-OTDcpd in nulliparous patients, and carefully inducing each patient who has not entered labor by her UL-OTDcpd, may be an effective way of lowering rates of cesarean delivery in nulliparous women.

Abstract:
This thesis examines obstetric practice associated with cephalopelvic disproportion in Glasgow between 1840 and 1900. Disproportion is a complication of labour, which occurs when there is a physical disparity between the size of the fetus and the size of the birth canal. The majority of these cases involved women who had suffered from rickets as a child, and had a deformed pelvis as a result. During this period the number of children affected by rickets appeared to increase, and as a consequence more cases of disproportion were encountered towards the end of the century. Descriptions of these cases found in a wide-range of published and unpublished materials have been used to analyse changes to obstetric practice in Glasgow. The complex nature of medical decision-making in cases of disproportion is shown. Methods available for the treatment of disproportion included caesarean section, craniotomy, forceps, induction of premature labour, symphysiotomy, and turning. Medical practitioners’ decisions were subject to social, medical and scientific factors. Practitioners’ choices were influenced by their experience, reports of successful cases both abroad and at home, the severity of the pelvic deformity, innovations in medical technique, perceptions of the value of the mother compared to her unborn child, location, and the decisions of the women and their friends and family. After the 1870s there was an increase in the number of women who were delivered by one of these forms of intervention at the Glasgow Maternity Hospital. This change can be attributed to an increase in the prevalence of this condition, but it also reflected a shift from women being admitted on social grounds to medical reasons. This change was in response to an acknowledgement that selecting cases earlier improved the chances of a successful outcome, as evidenced by Murdoch Cameron’s work with caesarean section. In addition, as obstetrics emerged as a specialism, obstetric practitioners claimed these difficult cases for themselves. It was stressed that general practitioners and midwives should send women to obstetric physicians as soon as they were aware of complications, and that obstetric specialists were to replace general surgeons as the operator in severe cases of disproportion when caesarean section was required.

Abstract:
Females of childbearing age are overrepresented in the population of the Kellis 2 cemetery (100-450 AD) in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt (Wheeler 2009). The demographic overrepresentation found here may be the result of complications related to childbirth. Clinical literature demonstrates that fetal size is rarely an explanation for failed labor (Cunningham et al. 2001) and the fetuses buried in the Kellis 2 Cemetery at the Dakhleh Oasis were not larger than average (Tocheri et al. 2005), directing the focus to dimensions of the maternal pelvis for evidence of obstetrical issues, such as abnormally compressed pelvises. To formulate a test for this hypothesis, a total of 50 adults, 24 of which are female, were examined for this study. The sample consisted of individuals from an archaeological population from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt as well as from six populations housed in the American Museum of Natural History (NYC). These include archaeological populations from the sites of El Hesa and Sai Island in the Sudan, also South Africa, Nubia, and India, as well as a medical collection from North America. Pelvic dimension and asymmetry was determined through nine measurements of the pelvis and sacrum. Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze variance and assess whether the younger females in this group may have been at a higher risk of death during childbirth due to fetal-pelvic disproportion. Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxan nonparametric tests were used to assess differences in asymmetry in young and old groups. A MANOVA test assessed overall variation in the population. Results indicate significant differences between young and old females in pelvic outlet anteroposterior diameter, a measure of midpelvic contraction, as young females had smaller pelvic outlet anteroposterior diameters. There were also significant differences between young and old females in alar-pubis length asymmetry; the young females were more asymmetric. These differences were not found in the male groups. It is suggested that these differences could impact childbirth as a contracted midpelvis, such as that found in the young female group, can cause transverse arrest of the fetal head (Cunningham et al. 2010) and pelvic asymmetry can contribute to obstetrical complications (Campbell et al. 2011).

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) is a common and serious obstetric condition, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Recognition relies on clinical observations, such as cervical dilatation, head descent, moulding, and size of fetus, all made in a trial of labour. No prospective studies have investigated intrapartum clinical observations and their predictive value for CPD. The objectives of this research were 1) to determine the association of intrapartum clinical findings, especially level of head and moulding, with the outcome of CPD, 2) to determine inter-observer agreement of these findings between clinicians, and 3) to compare intrapartum clinical palpation with symphysis-fundal height (SFH) measurement in the prediction of birth weight. A prospective cross-sectional comparative study was done in the Chris Hani Baragwanath labour ward, a large referral centre. The subjects were women at term, in the active phase of labour, with vertex presentations. The author, blinded to previous clinical or ultrasound findings, performed clinical assessments at the same time as the women’s attending clinicians. His observations were not divulged to the clinicians and he did not participate in obstetric management of the women. The primary outcome measures were CPD, defined as caesarean section for poor progress, and birth weight. Five hundred and eight women were examined, of whom 113 (22.2%) had CPD. Multivariate analysis identified short maternal stature, increased SFH, lesser cervical dilatation, long duration of labour, high degree of parieto-parietal moulding, and high degree of caput succedaneum as independent predictors for CPD. Fetal position and occipito-parietal moulding were not predictive, and level of head, by fifths and by station, was poorly predictive. Inter-observer agreement between the author and attending clinicians was moderate for cervical dilatation, engagement of the head in fifths, and caput succedaneum, and poor for engagement of the head by station. SFH measurement was a slightly better predictor of birth weight than clinical fetal weight estimation. The clinical observations that were shown to be predictive for CPD may be useful adjuncts in the management of a trial of labour. Inter-observer agreement of these findings is at best moderate. Measurement of SFH deserves more attention as an intrapartum predictor of birth weight.

Abstract:
Normal labour involves an appropriate-sized fetus in a vertex presentation with a well-flexed head that descends and rotates within the maternal pelvis in response to uterine contractions, delivering in an occipitoanterior position. Abnormal labour occurs when any one or a combination of these factors deviates from normal. It may involve a malpresentation (e.g. face, brow, or breech), a malposition (e.g. occipitoposterior), or cephalopelvic disproportion. The consequences include prolonged labour, obstructed labour, operative vaginal delivery, or caesarean section. Appropriate management requires expertise in clinical assessment, decision-making, and the technical and non-technical skills of operative delivery. A systematic approach is required including an awareness of risk factors for abnormal labour, early identification of deviations from normal, use of preventative strategies where possible, and appropriate intervention when necessary. Good teamwork and clear communication between midwives and obstetricians is essential within a labour ward setting. Timely transfer may be required in a homebirth setting. Particular skills are required in low-resource settings where obstructed labour may be advanced at the time of presentation.
