We aimed to evaluate if secundiparas with previous second-stage cesarean sections due to a failed vacuum delivery (SSCS-F-VD) are associated with PTB in the subsequent delivery compared with secundiparas with previous spontaneous vaginal birth (SVB) at term. A secondary aim was to compare this association with secundiparas with a previous SSCS at term. Methods: A historical, prospective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted in a large tertiary university hospital between 2006 and 2019. Matched mothers who experienced first and second births at the indexed hospital, excluding those with a previous miscarriage or multiple pregnancy in either the first or second birth were grouped based on the mode of delivery and gestational week of the first birth. Results: Parturients with term SVB and term SSCSs were less likely to experience PTB in the following delivery compared with those who underwent an SSCS-F-VD, with 496\/14,551 (3.4%) versus 6\/160 (3.8%) versus 5\/61 (8.2%), respectively, at p &lt; 0.001. A logistic regression model revealed that secundiparas with previous SSCS-F-VD had an association with PTB in the following delivery compared with term SVB, with an OR of 2.756 (1.097; 6.922, p = 0.031). Conclusion: Previous SSCS-F-VD is associated with PTB in the following delivery, offering valuable insights for pregnancy management and patient counseling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12237358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,28]],"date-time":"2023-11-28T07:41:32Z","timestamp":1701157292000},"page":"7358","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Risk of Preterm Birth among Secundiparas with a Previous Cesarean due to a Failed Vacuum Delivery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Sarit","family":"Helman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9103102, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1309-7118","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Mahajna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9103102, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0053-362X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zvi","family":"Ehrlich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9103102, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miri","family":"Ratner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9103102, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sorina","family":"Grisaru-Granovsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9103102, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Orna","family":"Reichman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9103102, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4375","DOI":"10.1080\/14767058.2020.1849122","article-title":"Pregnancy Outcome after Cesarean Section Following a Failed Vacuum Attempt","volume":"35","author":"Attali","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
