To investigate the clinical significance of umbilical cord length in human pregnancies, 1087 deliveries at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from May 1995 to August 1995 were studied. Our data showed that male fetuses had longer cord length than female and vertex presentation had longer cord length than breech presentation. The cord length and placental weight were significantly related to the birth weight. We found that: 1) only intrauterine growth retardation was associated with the increased risk of fetal distress; 2) secondary arrest of labor and advanced gestational age were correlated with meconium stain; and 3) birth weight and presence of meconium stain were correlated with the secondary arrest (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between umbilical cord length and fetal well-being. As a result of multivariate analyses, we conclude that the umbilical cord length does not significantly correlate with either maternal age, gestational age (> or = 28 weeks), parity fetal outcome or intrauterine fetal well-being. Birth weight is the only characteristic that is correlated with cord length.
