This study assessed risk factors and adverse outcomes in labors with bloody amniotic fluid. During the six years of this study, all nulliparas in our institution, with a trial of labor, were included. Multiple pregnancies and preterm deliveries were excluded. Outcomes were compared between the bloody amniotic fluid group and the clear amniotic fluid group. Overall, 11,252 women were included. Among them, 364 (3.2%) had bloody amniotic fluid and 10,888 (96.7%) had clear amniotic fluid. Women in the bloody amniotic fluid group were characterized by shorter duration of the second stage and higher rate of cesarean section due to non-reassuring fetal heart rate. In addition, there were higher rates of low cord pH (&lt;7.1) and NICU admissions in the bloody amniotic fluid group. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, cesarean delivery, cord blood pH &lt; 7.1, and NICU admission were independently associated with increased odds ratio for bloody amniotic fluid. Bloody amniotic fluid at term is associated with adverse outcomes and must be considered during labor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10071208","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,13]],"date-time":"2023-07-13T01:43:22Z","timestamp":1689212602000},"page":"1208","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Bloody Amniotic Fluid and Neonatal Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Hanoch","family":"Schreiber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Meir Medical Center, Kfar Saba 4428163, Israel"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6329302, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gal","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Meir Medical Center, Kfar Saba 4428163, Israel"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6329302, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hila","family":"Shalev-Ram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Meir Medical Center, Kfar Saba 4428163, Israel"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6329302, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sivan","family":"Farladansky-Gershnabel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Meir Medical Center, Kfar Saba 4428163, Israel"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6329302, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omer","family":"Weitzner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Meir Medical Center, Kfar Saba 4428163, Israel"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6329302, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tal","family":"Biron-Shental","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Meir Medical Center, Kfar Saba 4428163, Israel"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6329302, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michal","family":"Kovo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Meir Medical Center, Kfar Saba 4428163, Israel"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6329302, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6765-1583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shmuel","family":"Arnon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6329302, Israel"},{"name":"Department of Neonatology, Meir Medical Center, Kfar Saba 4428163, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1788-4143","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ofer","family":"Markovitch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Meir Medical Center, Kfar Saba 4428163, Israel"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6329302, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"120","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ogrm.2018.02.004","article-title":"Meconium-stained amniotic fluid","volume":"28","author":"Mitchell","year":"2018","journal-title":"Obstet.
