Several studies report caesarean section (CS) to be a risk factor for childhood asthma. We used data from a large cohort of 5-year-old twins to examine the relationship between mode of birth delivery and asthma. The extent to which an infant is exposed to maternal vaginal flora may protect against the risk of developing asthma. Therefore, we expect a lower rate of asthma in twins born by vagina...

However, little information is locally available regarding the incidences of adverse birth outcome with respect to the route of delivery. Metho...

BACKGROUND More than a dozen studies have reported a reduced rate of childbearing after caesarean delivery (CD). It has been hypothesised that this is because women who deliver by CD are less likely to intend to have subsequent children than women who deliver vaginally - either before childbirth or as a consequence of CD. Little research has addressed either of these hypotheses. METHODS As pa...
