Findings from this study suggests that cesarean delivery in cephalic fetuses was associated with increased odds of adverse neonatal outcomes (24 weeks of gestation or greater) and SMM (all gestational age groups). Cesarean delivery was associated with decreased odds of neonatal death compared with vaginal delivery for noncephalic fetuses in all gestational age groups.
