Rate and Indication of Cesarean Section Delivery in Bghiyatollah Hospital

Cesarean section is an alternative method for vaginal delivery with limited indications, although its prevalence significantly has increased in recent years, due to various factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of cesarean indication and evaluate some of the most effective factors. We designed a retrospective descriptive study. Women who refereed to Baghiyatollah hospital during the year 1378 were recruited (3572 cases). Patientʹs demographic factors and some other factors playing a role in shaping the cesarean decision were examined by questionnaire. In total, 1869 caesarian section was reported (53.3%). Itʹs worth nothing that caesarian sections accounted for 71.2% of the total number of gyneco-obstetric surgeries. Peak of cesarean delivery was in maternal age 25-31. Repeat cesarean was the most important indication for cesarean and feto-pelvic disproportion and prolonged labor were the second condition. High rate of cesarean could be the significant effects of factors such as higher ages, and painless delivery. Education of health care providers and legal support may reduce the incidence of cesarean section.
