Objective: To analyze trends of CSs and evaluating them according to Robson’s Ten Groups Classification System (TGCS) at a leading government tertiary care hospital of South Punjab, Pakistan. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Nishtar Medical University Hospital, Multan Pakistan, from October 2019 to March 2020.The study population included a total of 167 women who underwent CS in the hospital during the specified study period. For each case, we collected data regarding maternal characteristics and pregnancy-related information. The dependent variable was Robson classification group. Results: Overall, mean age was 26.53+5.1 years. Majority of the women, 116 (69.5%) belonged to urban areas of residence, 74 (44.3%) gestational aged between 37-42 years while 108 (64.7%) had history of cesarean section. Most of the patients, 85 (50.9%) turned out to be from TGCS Group-10. Group-5 and Group-1 were the 2nd and 3rd most common group, accounted for 24 (14.4%) and 19 (11.4%) cases respectively. Previous cesarean section (20.4%) and fetal distress (19.8%) were found to be most common indications leading to cesarean section. Conclusion: As per Robson’s Ten-Group Classification, Group-10 and Group-5 were found to be the most contributing among deliveries done. Previous cesarean section and fetal distress were the most common indications of cesarean section. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.2.3823 How to cite this:Parveen R, Khakwani M, Naz A, Bhatti R.

Die Sectioraten in den einzelnen europäischen Ländern variieren erheblich. Eine Möglichkeit, die Perinatalmedizin regional und national zu monitorisieren und vergleichbar zu machen, bietet das von der WHO propagierte Ten-Group Classification System (TGCS) nach Robson. Wie gut dies anhand der verfügbaren nationalen Daten gelingt, untersuchte nun ein europäisches Forscherteam.

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.
