Systematic analysis reveals prolonged active phase duration predicts adverse outcomes in birth, indicating need for predictive strategies.
Prolonged active phase duration independently predicts maternal and neonatal morbidity in nulliparous women, with risk amplification in specific BMI subgroups. Parity stratification and nonlinear modeling enhance individualized labor management. Clinically applicable predictive tools integrating labor progression and maternal characteristics might optimize early intervention, reducing morbidity in modern obstetric practice.
