Prediction of Outcomes in Infants with Hydrops Fetalis by Mode of Delivery: A Retrospective Cohort from a Low-Resource Setting in Kenya.

The article discusses a retrospective cohort study conducted in Kenya on infants with hydrops fetalis to determine if cesarean section delivery improves perinatal outcomes in low-resource settings. The study found that there was no statistically significant association between the mode of delivery and perinatal survival, with a 7-day survival rate of 42.2%. The research suggests the need for a validated tool to predict perinatal outcomes in infants with hydrops fetalis by mode of delivery to aid decision-making. [Extracted from the article]
