Summary
This study looks at whether using a cesarean risk calculator during labor can lower the number of C-sections and reduce complications for mothers and newborns. Researchers will track 20,000 women giving birth at full term to see if the tool helps guide decisions. The goal is to improve safety and help patients and doctors make more informed choices.

What this could lead to
If successful, this tool could help doctors and patients make more informed decisions about labor, potentially reducing unnecessary C-sections and improving safety.
What could go wrong
