Risk of emergency cesarean section when giving birth in Sweden: A nationwide cohort study comparing women born in countries practicing female genital mutilation, with Swedish-born women

Primiparous women from FGM-practicing countries have an increased risk of emergency CS compared to Swedish-born women, when giving birth in Sweden. The presence of FGM diagnosis did not contribute to this risk. Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms for this to be able to improve obstetric care for migrant populations.
