Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome and cumulative morbidity among women who delivered twice after a cesarean delivery (CD), and who underwent in the second delivery either a trial of labor (TOL) or planned cesarean delivery (PCD). Eligible women (N = 399) were divided into two groups based on first post-CD: a TOL (n = 304) or PCD (n = 95). Women attempting a TOL were successful in 70 and 75% in the first and second post-CD, respectively. All participants undergoing a PCD subsequently had a third PCD. The overall morbidity was 8.4 and 5.3% among PCD and TOL groups, respectively ( P = 0.258). Women attempting a TOL after a previous CD had a 70 and 53% likelihood for at least one successful or two successful vaginal births in the two subsequent deliveries, respectively. No significant difference was documented between the groups regarding the cumulative morbidity.

Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...
