Perinatal Mortality and Neonatal and Maternal Outcome Per Gestational Week in Term Pregnancies: A Registry-based Study

(Abstracted from Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2023;102:82–91) A human pregnancy at term is defined as being from 37 +0/7 to 41 +6/7 weeks of gestation. In uncomplicated pregnancies within this range, maternal, fetal, and neonatal risks are considered low, and expectant management is associated with positive outcomes, including increased odds of vaginal birth, low risk of intervention, and greater satisfaction for the pregnant individual.
