Predictors of shoulder dystocia at the time of operative vaginal delivery: a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Our aim was to identify factors associated with shoulder dystocia following an attempted operative vaginal delivery (aOVD) in a prospective cohort study and to evaluate whether these factors can be used to accurately predict shoulder dystocia by building

Action competence in obstetric emergencies—can this be achieved via e-learning? Interprofessional blended learning module on diagnostics and emergency treatment of shoulder dystocia [PDF]
BMC Medical Education, 2023 Background Due to the rarity of shoulder dystocia, an obstetric emergency, it is difficult even for experts to develop the appropriate routine in this emergency. Regular further training is therefore recommended for obstetricians and midwives.

Increased incidence of shoulder dystocia but a declining incidence of obstetric brachial plexus palsy in vaginally delivered infants. [PDF]
Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 2023 Obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) is a serious form of neonatal morbidity. The primary aim of this population‐based registry study was to examine temporal trends, 1997–2019, of OBPP in infants delivered vaginally in a cephalic presentation.
