    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Neonatal Health
    • Public Health Trends

    Context:

    • The indications for Caesarean section (CS) have evolved, encompassing both emergency and preventive reasons.
    • Analysis of 200 Caesarean section cases and 148 additional cases due to indication changes provides insight into outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the changing indications for Caesarean section and their impact on neonatal outcomes.
    • To evaluate the postpartal state of newborns based on the specific indications for Caesarean delivery.

    Summary:

    • Lowest Apgar scores were observed in newborns delivered via emergency Caesarean section for fetal indications.
    • The rise in Caesarean section rates since 1971 is attributed to preventive fetal indications, exceeding 50% in recent years.
    • Infants born via Caesarean section are generally not endangered, except those delivered due to emergency fetal or maternal indications.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the need for careful risk assessment during pregnancy to identify high-risk pregnancies requiring intervention.
    • Suggests that proactive management, including potential ambulant treatment or hospitalization, can mitigate risks associated with emergency Caesarean sections.
    • Informs clinical practice and public health policy regarding Caesarean section indications and neonatal well-being.
