TEKS LENGKAP
2017 NOV 23 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Women's Health Weekly -- Investigators publish
new report on Pregnancy Complications - Dystocia. According to news reporting out of Vienna, Austria, by NewsRx
editors, research stated, "Recently, we presented the cliff-edge model to explain the evolutionary persistence of
relatively high incidences of fetopelvic disproportion (FPD) in human childbirth. According to this model, the
regular application of Caesarean sections since the mid-20th century has triggered an evolutionary increase of
fetal size relative to the dimensions of the maternal birth canal, which, in turn, has inflated incidences of FPD."
Financial supporters for this research include Austrian Science Fund (FWF), March of Dimes Foundation (March of
Dimes).
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Vienna, "While this prediction is
difficult to test in epidemiological data on Caesarean sections, the model also implies that women born by
Caesarean because of FPD are more likely to develop FPD in their own childbirth compared with women born
vaginally. Multigenerational epidemiological studies indeed evidence such an intergenerational predisposition to
surgical delivery. When confined to anatomical indications, these studies report risks for Caesarean up to twice as
high for women born by Caesarean compared with women born vaginally. These findings provide independent
support for our model, which we show here predicts that the risk of FPD for mothers born by Caesarean because of
FPD is 2.8 times the risk for mothers born vaginally."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "The congruence between these data and our prediction
lends sup port to the cliff-edge model of obstetric selection and its under lying assumptions, despite the genetic
and anatomical idealizations involved."
