How birth outcomes among a cohort of Guatemalan women with a history of prior cesarean vary by mode or birth across different interpregnancy intervals

Table 2 Multivariable logistic regression of the association of risk factors significant in bivariate comparisons with repeat cesarean birth varying by IPI

Note All variables included in model that were significant in bivariate comparisons (Table 1) of mode of birth: age, education, parity, body mass index, prenatal care attendance, obstructed labor, hypertensive disease, induction of labor, referred to facility from another setting. Birth attendant and location of delivery were dropped as physician providers are the only ones providing cesarean birth in the hospital with zero cells for non-physician providers and non-facility cesareans
