C-Section or vaginal birth? massive thai study to reveal impact on babies
NCT ID NCT07498192
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at over 10,000 mother-baby pairs in Thailand to see if cesarean section (C-section) leads to more health problems for newborns compared to vaginal birth. Researchers will analyze existing hospital records to compare risks like breathing issues, infections, and low birth weight. They will also track how often babies see a doctor and whether breastfeeding rates differ. No treatments or changes to care are involved—just careful observation of real-world data.
