Cesarean section (CS) rates vary globally, but odds ratios for primary and repeat CS births remain consistent across settings. These findings suggest a unified approach to evaluating perinatal services based on clinical interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Perinatal Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cesarean section (CS) rates exhibit significant global variation.
  • Understanding factors influencing CS rates is crucial for maternal and infant health.
  • Previous Cesarean section is a key determinant in subsequent birth modes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate Cesarean section rates in primiparas and multiparas across diverse obstetrical settings.
  • To identify consistent odds ratios for CS across different parity and prior CS statuses.
  • To explore the relationship between CS odds ratios and specific perinatal conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Cesarean section data from seven obstetrical settings.
  • Calculation of odds ratios for Cesarean section based on parity and previous CS history.

  • Investigation of internal associations between CS odds ratios and conditions like fetal distress, hypertension, and prematurity.

    • Main Results:

    • Global Cesarean section rates ranged from 5.3% to 17.4%.
    • Consistent odds ratios for Cesarean section were observed: 3.0 for primiparas and 37 for multiparas with a previous CS.
    • Associations were found between Cesarean section odds ratios and various adverse perinatal outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite diverse global Cesarean section rates, consistent risk factors (parity, prior CS) emerge.
    • A unified clinical approach, focusing on interventionist or conservative strategies, may be applicable for evaluating perinatal services.
    • Findings were validated using data from two additional obstetrical settings.
