- OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between abdominal adhesions at the time of gynaecologic surgery and a history of caesarean delivery, and to investigate obstetric factors contributing to adhesion formation after caesarean section (CS).DESIGN: Longitudinal population-based register study.SETTING: Sweden.POPULATION: Women undergoing benign hysterectomy and/or adnexal surgery in Sweden, 2000-2014, with a previous delivery during 1973-2013 (n = 15 479).METHODS: Information about abdominal adhesions during gynaecological surgery, prior medical history, pregnancies and deliveries were retrieved from Swedish National Health and Quality registers.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Adhesions.RESULTS: In women with previous CS, adhesions were present in 37%, compared with 10% of women with no previous CS [odds ratio (OR): 5.18, 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.70-5.71]. Adhesions increased with the number of caesarean sections: 32% after one CS; 42% after two CS and 59% after three or more CS (P < 0.001). Regardless of the number of CS, factors at CS such as age ≥35 years (aOR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.05-1.55), body mass index (BMI) ≥30 [adjusted OR (aOR): 1.91, 95% CI: 1.49-2.45] and postpartum infection (aOR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.05-2.30) increased the risk of adhesions.CONCLUSIONS: Presence of adhesions in abdominal gynaecological surgery is associated with women's personal history of caesarean delivery. The number of caesarean sections was the important predictor of adhesions; advanced age, obesity and postpartum infection further increased the incidence.TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Repeat caesarean, age, obesity and infection increased the risk of pelvic adhesions after caesarean section.

- Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate if family background and attitudes in early adulthood contribute to postponement of parenthood. Postponement of parenthood is associated with increased need for artificial reproductive techniques, increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes and reduced fertility rates. Methods: This was a cohort study including 1000 women and men aged 22 years from the Swedish Young Adult Panel Study. Questionnaire data were linked to information from the Swedish Total Population Register 10 years later. Logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results: Background factors associated with being childless were: being second-generation Polish or Turkish (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.2–2.0), growing up in a large city (OR 1.5; 95% CI 1.1–2.0), well-educated mother (OR 1.5; 95% CI 1.1–1.9) or father (OR 1.4; 95% CI 1.1–1.9), no siblings (OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.1–3.2), living in parental home (OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.6–3.1), less than good assessment of own mother (OR 1.8; 95% CI 1.2–2.7) or father (OR 1.4; 95% CI 1.0–1.9) as a parent, and less than satisfactory relationship with own mother (OR 1.5; 95% CI 1.1–2.1). Attitudes associated with being childless were: not enjoying children (OR 2.7; 95% CI 2.0–3.6), finding that one could be satisfied in life without being a good parent (OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.7–3.0) and not assuming that one will have children in the future (OR 2.9; 95% CI 2.1–3.9). Conclusions: The findings suggest that postponement of parenthood to the age of 32 could partly be explained by family background and negative or ambivalent attitudes to children and parenthood in early adulthood.
