Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review and meta-analysis examined 94 observational studies involving over 239,000 pregnant women to identify maternal and fetal factors influencing the success of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
  • Factors such as younger age, normal weight, no diabetes or hypertensive disorders, a favorable Bishop score, prior vaginal birth, and previous successful VBAC were associated with higher odds of successful VBAC, while obesity, diabetes, hypertensive disorders, labor induction, macrosomia, and certain indications for previous C-section decreased success rates.
  • The findings highlight that clinical factors like maternal health, fetal characteristics, and previous birth history are important in predicting VBAC success, and these should be carefully considered when planning a trial of labor after cesarean.]
