  1. 1. What difference does a week make? : An empirical analysis evaluating the effect of induction of labor in gestational week 41 among births in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Angelica Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Induction of labor; Quasi-experiment; Staggered treatment adoption; DiD imputation; QALY; Health economics;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the relationship between gestational age and stillbirths, focusing on the effect of maternal age. Prolonged pregnancies have been associated with an increased risk of stillbirth, prompting the exploration of labor induction as a preventive measure. READ MORE

  3. 2. Predicting Birth Outcome Using Cardiotocography and Machine Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Josefine Öder; [2022]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Cardiotography, CTG, is a monitoring method that is commonly used during childbirth. The method measures the fetal heart rate, FHR, alongside the uterine contractions, TOCO. Clinicians use this tool to evaluate the health of the infant, and to observe changes which might imply hypoxia, lack of oxygen supply, for the fetus. READ MORE

  4. 3. Migration Background and Preterm Birth in Sweden : A multigenerational register-based cohort study

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för folkhälsovetenskap

    Author : Lovisa Hellsten; [2022]
    Keywords : Preterm; Intergenerational; Multigenerational; Migration; Sweden; Gestational age;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to compare preterm birth (PTB) in daughters (G2) and granddaughters (G3) of foreign- and Swedish-born women (G1), to evaluate patterns in PTB in relation to migrant background over generations. A multigenerational cohort study was conducted using register data. READ MORE
