Background: The caesarean section (CS) delivery rate is steadily increasing worldwide, including India. Identifying the proportion of women in various categories as per Robson's ten group classification system and CS rate among them is important to bring down the increasing CS rate.Methods: This case series study was conducted at Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS), a tertiary care teaching hospital in Ballari, Karnataka, India. All pregnant women who have been admitted for delivery were enrolled and the data was collected for the women delivered by CS during January 2016 to December 2016 and proportions in various groups as per Robson’s ten-group classification system were calculated.Results: Among a total of 6980 women delivered during study period, 2992 (42.8%) delivered by CS. The CS rates among various groups varied from 100% among women with abnormal lies and group 6-95% (all nulliparous breeches) group 5-94% (Previous CS, single cephalic, >37 weeks) to 10 to 15% among multiparous women with spontaneous labour having single cephalic pregnancy (group 3). Among women with previous section, CS rate was very high (89.6%). Women with previous CS (group 5) contributed maximum (40.24%) to the total number of CS.Conclusions: In the present study, all women with breech presentation and abnormal lies delivered by CS and repeat CS was the highest contributor to all CS deliveries.

Background: Aims of this study was to assess the caesarean section rate and identify the indications contributing to the same using the Robson’s Ten Group Classification System at Kathmandu Model Hospital.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at Kathmandu Model Hospital among women who underwent caesarean section from 1 January to 31 December, 2018 and were grouped according to Ten Group Classification System. The overall caesarean section rate and the contribution of each group was calculated.Results: The overall caesarean section rate was 66.1% (494 among 747 total deliveries) in 2018. Nullipara, singleton cephalic, >= 37 weeks, spontaneous labor (Group 1) was the major (24.2%) contributor to the overall caesarean section rate followed by previous caesarean section, singleton cephalic, >=37 weeks (Group 5, 22.6%) and nullipara, singleton cephalic, >=37 weeks, induced or caesarean section before labor (Group 2, 18.8%). Also, the caesarean section rate was 49.5% in nullipara, thus increasing the trend of caesarean section for previous caesarean section in future.Conclusions: Efforts must be focused more on Group 1, 2 and 5 to decrease the increasing trend of caesarean section Promoting vaginal delivery in nullipara and facilitating vaginal birth after caesarean are the most relevant areas of intervention. Keywords: Caesarean section; Robson ten group classification system; vaginal birth after caesarean.

Background: There has been an increase in rate of caesarean section over last five decades. This is a matter of international public health concern as it increases the caesarean section related maternal morbidity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate that in a new medical college which clinical situation contributed and led to caesarean deliveries as per Robson’s classification system and to audit the increasing rate of caesarean section.Methods: This study was performed in Government Medical College Kathua in the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir from November 2020 to April 2021. In the present study, all cases delivered by caesarean section during the period of six months were recorded and classified according to Robson's 10 group classification system.Results: Out of total 1366 women delivered, 630 underwent CS (46.12%). It was observed that majority of caesarean sections belonged to group 2 and group 5 of Robson criteria. Group 5 comprised of patients with one or more previous caesarean section with cephalic presentation according to Robson criteria and maximum number of caesarean sections done in the present study belonged to this group that is 40.3%. Group 2 that is nulliparous singleton cephalic >37 week induced labour or caesarean section before labour comprised 29.2%. Breech pregnancies (groups 6 and 7) had >90% caesarean rates.Conclusions: Women with a previous caesarean delivery represent an increasing proportion of caesarean deliveries. Use of the Robson criteria allows standardized comparisons of data and identifies clinical scenarios driving changes in caesarean rates. Hospitals and health organizations can use the Robson 10-Group Classification System to evaluate quality and processes associated with caesarean delivery.
