Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Zahrawi Hospital in Damascus, during the period 20/12/2023 to 10/7/2024. The patients' files at the hospital were studied, and their number was 306 patients after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results The data of 306 pregnant women were studied, where 264 of them underwent a trial of labor and 42 underwent an elective cesarean section. The success rate of the trial of labor was (82.2%), compared to the failure rate of the trial of labor (17.8%). The majority of pregnant women in both groups had a body mass index of 25–29 kg/m2. Failure to complete vaginal delivery accounted for 61.7% of previous cesarean section indications in the group with current failed labor versus 34.6% in the group with successful labor. In the group with current failed labor, previous cesarean section indications such as elderly or high-risk pregnancy were higher than in the group with successful labor. Conclusion In this study, we found that the success rate of labor was 82.2%, with good cesarean scar in 64.5%. Obstetrics & Gynecology Cesarean section labor TOLAC complications Background The management of women with a previous cesarean has been controversial for the past 100 years. In 1916, Cragin made his famous statement: “once a cesarean always a cesarean.”. The fear of uterine rupture was because the classical cesarean was the prevailing method at that time until 1921, when Kerr introduced the cesarean through an incision in the lower segment of the uterus. With the encouragement and support of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, several encouraging attempts were made to increase the rate of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). These attempts were crowned with success, as the rate of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) increased from 3.4% in 1980 to a peak of 28.3% in 1996 in the United States. However, over the past 20 years, the rate of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) has continued to decline. The rate of attempted vaginal birth after cesarean section in the United States has declined from about 28% in 1996 to 8% in 2006. [ 1 ] In 2010, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists published recommendations for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) offering a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) to most women with a single symptomatic cesarean. However, barriers to offering a trial of labor and acceptance of TOLAC include patient preference, lack of facilities that offer TOLAC, and physicians' unwillingness to offer TOLAC due to concerns about liability. [ 2 ] In 2013, the success rate of a trial of labor in the United States for women who attempted TOLAC after one prior cesarean delivery was 70.4 percent, and for those with two or more prior cesarean deliveries, it was 51.4 percent. [ 3 ] In a 2010 analysis, the two factors that increased the odds of VBAC by at least threefold were having a prior VBAC and having a prior vaginal delivery. [ 4 ] The most significant factor associated with TOLAC failure (i.e., cesarean delivery during labor) was having a prior cesarean delivery due to failure to progress after repeated induction. Other factors that played a role, but were not strongly associated with TOLAC failure, included increased body mass index and older mothers. Induction of labor significantly reduced the odds of a successful trial of labor after a prior cesarean compared with having spontaneous labor. Unlike most medical decisions, where patients weigh the risks and benefits for themselves, pregnant women must weigh the risks and benefits for both themselves and their fetus. Most pregnant women are willing to accept a high degree of risk to themselves for zero or near-zero risk to their babies [ 5 ] , although the desire to achieve a vaginal birth can sometimes lead to increased risk to the newborn, as in out-of-hospital TOLAC [ 6 ] . Aim of the study Evaluation of spontaneous labor after single cesarean section and obstetric complications. Methods Cross-sectional study, conducted at Al-Zahrawi Hospital in Damascus, during the period 12/20/2023 to 7/10/2024. The patients' files in the hospital were studied and their number reached 306 patients after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This was done through a form designed with the help of the research supervisor (included in the appendix), which contains a set of questions that serve the research objective. The approval of the Syrian Private University and the approval of Al-Zahrawi Hospital was obtained to enter and review the patients’ files. Statistical analysis : Patients' data were tabulated and entered into the computer, and then the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program, version (26), was used to analyze this data. The following statistical methods were used in the analysis: Descriptive analysis : This involves finding the relative frequency distributions of the categorical study variables. Inferential analysis : This part of the analysis aims to present and interpret the results and infer from them in order to reach the study's goal, by conducting the Chi Square test of independence to study whether there is a relationship between two descriptive variables by applying the Chi Square statistic. Results We studied the data of 306 pregnant women, 264 of whom underwent a labor trial and 42 underwent an elective caesarean section. By studying this data statistically, we reached the following results The research sample was divided into two main groups: the labor trial group and the direct (elective) caesarean section group without a labor trial. The labor trial group was divided according to the result into a group with a successful labor trial and thus completing the vaginal delivery, and a group with a failed labor trial and thus converting the birth to a caesarean section. The success rate of the labor trial was 217 (82.2%), compared to a failure rate of the labor trial of 47 (17.8%). (Table 1 ) Table 1 N % Total labor experience Success = vaginal birth 217 82.2 264/86.3% Failure = cesarean section 47 17.8 elective caesarean section 42 13.7 42/13.7% Total 306 100 Study of the relationship between different variables and the outcome of the labor experience In this section, we studied the relationship between different variables and the outcome of the labor experience (success, failure and conversion to cesarean section), and we reached the following results (Table 2 ) shows that the average age of the pregnant woman and the gestational age were greater in the group with a successful labor experience, but the difference was not statistically significant. The average period between the current birth and the previous cesarean section was greater in the group with a successful labor experience, and by a statistically significant difference.

The average number of previous vaginal births was generally close between the two groups, and the average number of previous vaginal births after cesarean section was greater in the group with a successful trial of labor, but the differences were not statistically significant.

In the group in which the trial of labor had succeeded, previous cesarean section with relative indications such as: eclampsia, hydrocephalus, umbilical prolapse, genital warts, multiple pregnancy, abnormal placenta, in addition to cesarean section of unknown cause were higher than in the group in which the trial of labor had failed.

Uterine rupture occurred in one case, and there was suspicion of placental abruption in one case as well.

The average period between the previous cesarean section and the current birth is greater in the labor experience group, with a statistically significant difference.

This study included a group of pregnant women with a history of one cesarean delivery who underwent a labor trial and studied the relationship of different variables with the success or failure of the labor trial. There was also a group of pregnant women who underwent an elective cesarean section to compare the variables with them as well as to explore the rates of complications in it. The success rate of the labor trial and completion of vaginal delivery in the current study was 82.2%, which is a good rate compared to comparative studies in which the success rate of the labor trial was 33.9–87.2%, indicating a good chance of completing vaginal delivery after a history of cesarean delivery. By studying the relationship between the success of the labor experience and the age of the pregnant woman and the gestational age, this relationship was not statistically significant, as it was close between the two groups, and this is consistent with comparative studies with the exception of the study by Xing [ 7 ] , which found that the average age of pregnant women was younger in the vaginal delivery group and by a statistically significant difference. As a result, it can be said that the age of the pregnant woman and the gestational age are not associated with the success of the labor experience in most studies, with the possibility of difficulty in completing vaginal delivery in older pregnant women according to the study by Xing [ 7 ] . In the current study, the average period between the previous cesarean section and the current birth was greater in the case of a successful labor experience and by a statistically significant difference. This can be explained by the fact that increasing the period between pregnancies reduces pregnancy complications that may be a reason for switching to a cesarean section, the most important of which is pain at the site of the scar, as the longer period between pregnancies improves the organization of the previous cesarean scar, which results in the possibility of less pain. The body mass index of the majority of pregnant women in the current study was between 25–29 kg/m2 and represented the largest category in both the failed and successful labor group, while the body mass index less than 25 kg/m2 represented 0.5% of the successful labor group and 2.1% of the failed labor group, but the relationship between body mass index and successful labor was not statistically significant. In the study of Xing [ 7 ] , who studied the relationship between weight gained during pregnancy and successful labor, he found that gaining 15–20 kg during pregnancy was associated with an increased rate of successful labor with a statistically significant difference. In the study of Patel [ 8 ] , he studied the relationship between the average body mass index and successful labor and found that it was close between the two groups and the difference was not statistically significant. As a result, it can be said that the relationship between body mass index and successful labor needs more research and investigation, but with a tendency towards successful labor in cases of average body mass index. The success of the labor experience was accompanied by a high rate of vaginal birth history before or after a previous cesarean section, with a statistically significant difference, which was consistent with the results of most comparative studies. As a result, a previous vaginal birth increases the chances of a successful labor experience, and this may be related to the absence of some factors that increase the likelihood of the need for a cesarean section. Also, a pregnant woman undergoing a vaginal birth increases her ability to tolerate labor in subsequent births and reduces the fear of pain associated with vaginal birth in many pregnant women. The relationship between the success of the labor experience and the indication for a previous cesarean section was statistically significant. The rate of each of the previous labor disorders, multiple pregnancy, and elderly pregnant women was higher in the case of labor disorders, but the difference was clear in the case of labor disorders, which indicates the presence of factors that hinder or weaken the chances of completing a vaginal birth that were previously present or repeated in the current pregnancy. The relationship between the weight of the newborn and the success of the trial of labor was not statistically significant, similar to the results of the Eleje study [ 9 ] , while in the Xing study [ 7 ] , the average weight of the newborns was greater in the case of failed trial of labor by a statistically significant difference, which may be due to the presence of macrosomia in some newborns in this study, which led to difficulty in completing vaginal delivery, so the relationship between the weight of the newborn and the success of the trial of labor needs further research. Failure to complete vaginal delivery was the most common indication for caesarean section and failed trial of labor, followed by severe pain at the scar site and fetal pain, and there was one case of uterine rupture and one case of suspected placental abruption. The differences between the trial of labor group and the elective caesarean group were studied to reveal the relationship of these variables with the choice to undergo the trial of labor, as well as to study the differences in outcomes between the two groups. The mean age of the pregnant woman, the gestational age, and the distribution of pregnant women according to body mass index were close between the two groups, while the mean interval between the current pregnancy and the previous cesarean section was greater in the labor experience group by a statistically significant difference, and as a result, spacing pregnancies increases the pregnant woman's ability to undergo labor experience. The percentage of having a history of vaginal birth was greater in the labor experience group by a statistically significant difference, and as a result, previous vaginal birth increases the pregnant woman's ability to undergo labor experience. Conclusion In this study, we found that the success rate of the labor trial was 82.2%.

As a result, it can be said that the age of the pregnant woman and the gestational age are not associated with the success of the labor experience in most studies, with the possibility of difficulty in completing vaginal delivery in older pregnant women according to the study by Xing \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. In the current study, the average period between the previous cesarean section and the current birth was greater in the case of a successful labor experience and by a statistically significant difference.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis can be explained by the fact that increasing the period between pregnancies reduces pregnancy complications that may be a reason for switching to a cesarean section, the most important of which is pain at the site of the scar, as the longer period between pregnancies improves the organization of the previous cesarean scar, which results in the possibility of less pain. The body mass index of the majority of pregnant women in the current study was between 25\u0026ndash;29 kg/m2 and represented the largest category in both the failed and successful labor group, while the body mass index less than 25 kg/m2 represented 0.5% of the successful labor group and 2.1% of the failed labor group, but the relationship between body mass index and successful labor was not statistically significant.

As a result, it can be said that the relationship between body mass index and successful labor needs more research and investigation, but with a tendency towards successful labor in cases of average body mass index. The success of the labor experience was accompanied by a high rate of vaginal birth history before or after a previous cesarean section, with a statistically significant difference, which was consistent with the results of most comparative studies. As a result, a previous vaginal birth increases the chances of a successful labor experience, and this may be related to the absence of some factors that increase the likelihood of the need for a cesarean section. Also, a pregnant woman undergoing a vaginal birth increases her ability to tolerate labor in subsequent births and reduces the fear of pain associated with vaginal birth in many pregnant women. The relationship between the success of the labor experience and the indication for a previous cesarean section was statistically significant. The rate of each of the previous labor disorders, multiple pregnancy, and elderly pregnant women was higher in the case of labor disorders, but the difference was clear in the case of labor disorders, which indicates the presence of factors that hinder or weaken the chances of completing a vaginal birth that were previously present or repeated in the current pregnancy.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe relationship between the weight of the newborn and the success of the trial of labor was not statistically significant, similar to the results of the Eleje study \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e, while in the Xing study \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e, the average weight of the newborns was greater in the case of failed trial of labor by a statistically significant difference, which may be due to the presence of macrosomia in some newborns in this study, which led to difficulty in completing vaginal delivery, so the relationship between the weight of the newborn and the success of the trial of labor needs further research.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFailure to complete vaginal delivery was the most common indication for caesarean section and failed trial of labor, followed by severe pain at the scar site and fetal pain, and there was one case of uterine rupture and one case of suspected placental abruption.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe differences between the trial of labor group and the elective caesarean group were studied to reveal the relationship of these variables with the choice to undergo the trial of labor, as well as to study the differences in outcomes between the two groups.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe mean age of the pregnant woman, the gestational age, and the distribution of pregnant women according to body mass index were close between the two groups, while the mean interval between the current pregnancy and the previous cesarean section was greater in the labor experience group by a statistically significant difference, and as a result, spacing pregnancies increases the pregnant woman's ability to undergo labor experience.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe percentage of having a history of vaginal birth was greater in the labor experience group by a statistically significant difference, and as a result, previous vaginal birth increases the pregnant woman's ability to undergo labor experience.\u003c/p\u003e "},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eIn this study, we found that the success rate of the labor trial was 82.2%.\u003c/p\u003e "},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeclarations Ethical statement:\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ethical consent was obtained from Syrian private university ethical committee Competing Interest: the authors declare no competing of interests.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability of data and materials:\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll data are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunding:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"References","content":"\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCunningham FG, Leveno KJ, Bloom ST et al (2010) Cesarean Delivery and Peripartum Hysterectomy.

The success rate of the trial of labor was (82.2%), compared to the failure rate of the trial of labor (17.8%). The majority of pregnant women in both groups had a body mass index of 25–29 kg/m2. Failure to complete vaginal delivery accounted for 61.7% of previous cesarean section indications in the group with current failed labor versus 34.6% in the group with successful labor. In the group with current failed labor, previous cesarean section indications such as elderly or high-risk pregnancy were higher than in the group with successful labor.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this study, we found that the success rate of labor was 82.2%, with good cesarean scar in 64.5%.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Successful experience of spontaneous labor after a single cesarean section","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-09-17 15:23:52","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-5084181/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"fe395354-3938-4cd0-94ba-71cb139366de","owner":[],"postedDate":"September 17th, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[{"id":37586022,"name":"Obstetrics \u0026 Gynecology"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2024-09-17T15:23:52+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2024-09-17 15:23:52","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-5084181","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-5084181","identity":"rs-5084181","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"qtupq5eGEP_6zYnWcrvyt","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
