Description

Due to a rise in cesarean sections since the 1970s, the American College of Gynecology has acted to reduce unnecessary cesarean deliveries. In 2017, ACOG released clinical management guidelines for vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC), including a nomogram to predict VBAC success. This nomogram, developed by Grobman et al. (2007), explored factors impacting VBAC success for delivery at term for a singleton pregnancy. While the presence of diabetes was evaluated in the study, it was not found to be a significant factor in predicting outcome. This study will take a more detailed look at if pre-existing diabetes impacts a woman’s VBAC success.
