The diagnosed cases numbered 46 with a early incidence rate from one to nineteen deliveries, i.e. an increase in incidence 0.05% to 1.0%. This is likely to be due to improved registering of intrapartum diagnoses, rather than a true increase. In 1982-85 a total of 2150 babies of birthweight over 4000 g were born (23.8% of deliveries). In 132 of these difficulties in delivering the shoulders were described in the delivery notes (6.1%). The two study groups were compared to a healthy pregnant population (7). Maternal age and weight were similar in all groups, but height was significantly lower in the coded cases. Birthweight, parity and gestational length were all significantly greater in the dystocia groups. The midwifes' estimate of weight before delivery was inaccurate, usually underestimating weight by a mean of around 450 g. Instrumental delivery had been used in a quarter of the coded cases. Birth trauma was noted in 30.4% of the babies of the coded cases; most often clavicular fracture but also severe birth asphyxia and brachial nerve paresis. In the uncoded cases 10.6% sustained birth trauma. One of the 11 babies with nerve paresis at birth had signs of permanent damage at the age of two years. Shoulder dystocia is a serious emergency where permanent damage to the child can occur.
