Medical indications for primary cesarean delivery in women with and without disabilities.
The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between maternal disability status and type, mode of delivery, and medical indications for cesarean delivery in California deliveries. Findings showed that women with disabilities were less likely to labor, and these unlabored cesarean deliveries were less likely to have a medical indication for cesarean, compared to women without disabilities.

Primary cesarean delivery patterns among women with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities.
This study sought to determine whether physical, sensory, or intellectual and developmental disabilities are independently associated with primary cesarean delivery. It found that women across disability subgroups have higher odds of cesarean delivery, and there is heterogeneity by disability type.
