Delivery Unit
During February-March 2020, 1,666 women delivered, compared to 1,654 during February-March 2019 (Table 1). The proportions of spontaneous onset of labor, trials of labor, preterm delivery, post full-term deliveries, operative vaginal delivery and cesarean deliveries did not differ between the periods. The duration of the second stage of labor did not differ either. A trend was observed toward a lower rate of composite adverse neonatal outcomes in 2020 compared to 2019 (5.8% vs. 7.1%, p=0.08). In the per-week comparison, the number of deliveries did not differ between the periods (mean 208 vs. 206, p=0.88) (Table 2).
