Factors affecting the frequency of Caesarean section

Abstract

Objectives: Caesarean section rates are on growth owing to a vast range of clinical and non-clinical factors. The current study mainly aims to determine the factors impacting the frequency of abdominal delivery. Methods: To fulfill the study’s aim, a study of women with cesarean delivery (n=404) and women with vaginal delivery (n=310), a survey of 75 doctors, and 175 puerperal was carried out. A correlation matrix of indicators of risk factors has been established. Results: The results of the correlation analysis of the materials demonstrate the following factors that influence the cesarean section rate: a scar on the uterus and its condition, a woman's age over 35 years, a burdened obstetric history; a clinician’s gender, age, professional experience and time of graduation from the university; the material position of a woman, age of primiparous, latching a baby onto the breast after birth (from the standpoint of postpartum complications), choice of a maternity hospital. Considering the criteria-based assessment of risk factors has a high degree of reliability and informational significance, forecast models have been developed based on the results of clinical, social, and hygienic research of doctors and women in childbirth.  Conclusion: The devised models and forecasts make it likely not only to allow for quantitative evaluation of the situation but also can influence it qualitatively, developing the mechanisms of administrative mechanisms for the prevention of cesarean section.
