Association of weather conditions and the day with extreme number of deliveries with spontaneous onset in a tertiary referral perinatal center
Background and purpose: The effect of weather on people’s well-being and health has been previously noticed and has been a subject of interest for medical professionals and laypeople throughout human history. There are many studies connecting gynecology and obstetrics with weather, some of them investigating the weather and physiological processes such as onset of labor. Materials and methods: In this paper we tried to find relationship between weather conditions and the day with extreme number of deliveries with spontaneous onset (contractions and/or rupture of membranes) in a tertiary referral perinatal center. It is still debatable whether we could connnect the weather conditions with actual childbirth. Results: A case analysis shows that there could be a connection between the development of the weather situation and the extreme number of deliveries with spontaneous onset. Conclusion: Unfavorable biometeorological conditions were the result of weather conditions that affect people. In our case there was strong cold advection during the analyzed period, especially on the day with an extreme number of deliveries with spontaneous onset, and significant drop of barometric pressure.
