Background: Recent data indicate that one in five women undergo caesarean section (CS). In the last decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the caesarean section rate worldwide, which now exceeds 30% in some regions. Thus, the increasing rate of caesarean section became a matter of international public health concern. Our study aimed to classify the CS-based on Robson ten group classification system (RTGCS) criteria which will subsequently enable us to standardise the indication of CS and establish protocols to reduce the number of CS in our set up.Method: A retrospective study was conducted in ESI Hospital, New Delhi wherein Robson TGCS was used to classify CS for 15 months (January 2019 to April 2020).Results: Overall CS rate in our hospital over the specified period was 34.5%. All women with one or more previous cesareans (group V) had the maximum number of cesareans, 37%, followed by nulliparous, single, cephalic, term pregnancy (induced) i.e group II, 22.1% and nulliparous women more than 37 weeks in spontaneous labour (group I), 9.5%.Conclusions: RTGCS is easy to comprehend and reproduce. All deliveries and cesareans should be universally categorized by the Robsons TGCS. An attempt should be made to evaluate the group contributing most to the CS rate and interventions should be made accordingly.

Background: Caesarean section (CS) rates are rising worldwide and is a major public health concern. There is lack of evidence supporting the maternal and neonatal benefits with the increasing CS rates. Robson’s ten group classification system serves as an initial structure with which caesarean section rates can be analysed. RTGCS helps us to analyse and allow us to bring changes in our practice.Methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional study conducted over a period of 10 months during the year 2018, which involved 1478 pregnant women, out of which 693 underwent CS, those who underwent CS were grouped according to Robson’s Ten group classification system and the data was collected and analyzed.Results: 693 women underwent CS and the overall section rate was 46.88%. Group 5 (previous LSCS) and Group 2 (nulliparous, >37 weeks, induced) contributed the maximum to the overall CS rates (33.9% and 26.3% respectively). The most common indication for caesarean section was previous LSCS (38%), fetal distress (19.2%) and meconium stained liquor (13.7%).Conclusions: Robson’s ten group classification system helps us in auditing the caesarean section rates. Group 5 and 2 contributes the maximum for caesarean section rates. Encouraging and adequate counselling for VBAC, proper training of obstetricians in CTG interpretation would reduce the caesarean section rates.

ABSTRACT Introduction Cesarean section (CS) is the most common obstetric surgery and one of the most rewarding surgeries performed. The number of CSs has been growing rapidly, and concern has been expressed at the growing rate in some countries, with some referring to it as an emerging “global epidemic.” Aim The purpose of this study was to study the incidence and analyze different indications of CS in our institution and to compare the frequency of CS in Robson's ten group classification system (TGCS). Materials and methods A prospective hospital-based study for a duration of 3 months (January 2012 to March 2012) was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Umaid Hospital, Jodhpur. All patients admitted beyond 20 weeks gestation were included in the study, and record of all births during this period was evaluated. Each delivery was then classified into one of ten mutually exclusive categories according to obstetric characteristics. The information was used to identify the group that accounted for largest proportion of women or group that contributed most to CS and identify the areas for potential modification. Results We found cesarean rate of 28.6% during our study period, which is well above the World Health Organization guidelines. Group V (single, term, cephalic, previous CS) was the largest contributor to CS rates (30.4%). Groups I and II were the 2nd and 3rd largest contributors, i.e., 27.5 and 17.5% respectively. Maximum CS rate of 100% was found in group IX (abnormal lie), which was within the expected range. Group 2 had CS rate more than that of group I, and IV had a rate more than that of group I, which indicates that induction and cesarean before labor increases cesarean rate in both multiparous and nulliparous women. In our study, Robson's TGCS demonstrated the need to focus on groups I, II, III, and V because the contribution of these groups to overall cesarean rate was 82%. Clinical significance Ten group classification system was found to be a useful framework for auditing and analyzing different CS rates and their reasons. This will help in not only identifying the priority areas for the changes in clinical practice but also reducing cesarean rate. How to cite this article Bhati I, Jha A, Agarwal N.

Background: High caesarean section rate worldwide including India is matter of concern. The Robson’s Ten-group classification system allows critical analysis of caesarean deliveries according to characteristics of pregnancy. The objective was to analyze caesarean section rates in a tertiary care centre according to Modified Robson’s ten groups classification.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at GMERS Gotri Medical College, Vadodara, Gujarat, India. All patients who delivered between August 2018 and March 2019, were included in the study. Women were classified in 10 groups according to modified Robson’s classification using their maternal characteristics and obstetric history. For each group, authors calculated the caesarean section rate within the group and its absolute and relative contribution to the overall caesarean rate.Results: Total number of delivery in my study institute in 8 months was 1531 out of them 456 was cesarean section, so the overall caesarean section rate was 29.78%. The main contributions to overall caesarean rate was 40.78% by group 5 (previous CS, singleton, cephalic, >37weeks) followed by 14.25% by group 1 (nullipara, singleton, cephalic, >37 weeks, spontaneous labour), 11.40% by group 2 (nullipara, singleton, cephalic,>37 weeks, induced or CS before labour). CS rates among various group ranges from 100% among women with abnormal lie (group 9) to 98.4% in previous CS (group 5), 84% in nulliparous breech (group 6), 58% in multiparous breech (group 7) and least 8.2% in multipara spontaneous labour (group 3).Conclusions: The Robson’s classification is easy to use. It is time to implement obstetric audit to lower the overall CS rates.

BACKGROUND A standard and comprehensive classification system is needed to maintain appropriate Caesarean section (CS) rates like Robson Ten Group Classification System. The present study was conducted to analyse Caesarean section rate and its distribution according to Robson’s classification. METHODS A descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, Hari Nagar, New Delhi, from August 2018 to May 2019 on pregnant women of more than 28 weeks of gestation admitted for delivery. RESULTS Out of 8099 deliveries, 2924 required Caesarean section. The overall Caesarean section rate was 36.11 %, 1616 (55.27 %) were primary Caesarean section and 1308 (44.73 %) were repeat Caesarean section. Preterm delivery by Caesarean section was in 7.49 %. Majority of Caesarean section were in 37- 40 weeks of gestation (79.42 %). Out of 2924 cases 90.62 %, 8.21 % and 1.17 % were cephalic presentation, breech and other presentations respectively. 32 Caesarean section cases were twin pregnancy, 20.83 % was induced whereas 23.91 % was in spontaneous labour. Previous Caesarean section (44.74 %) was the commonest cause followed by foetal distress (16.82 %). Commonest cause for repeat Caesarean section was foetal distress (25.76 %). Major contributor to overall Caesarean section rate was Robson’s group 5 (38.72 %) followed by group 2 and group 1 i.e 21.64 % and 11.79 % respectively. Least contributor was group 8 (1.09 %). CONCLUSIONS Robson’s classification can help to identify broad categories of women to be targeted to decrease Caesarean section rates. Caesarean section rate can be reduced by decreasing primary Caesarean section, offering trial of labour (TOLAC), strict induction protocols implementation and precise interpretation of foetal heart rate tracings.

BACKGROUND In current and subsequent births, Caesarean sections bear their own risks for maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. In contrast with vaginal delivery, Caesarean section has increased risk of blood transfusion, hysterectomy and death and the risk of uterine rupture, placenta accreta and placenta previa in future pregnancies is also increased. We wanted to analyse the Caesarean section rate using Robson ten group classification system & identify the leading groups contributing to high caesarean section rates using Robson ten group classification system. METHODS This observational descriptive study enrolled 11,090 women who underwent delivery, of whom 5117 (46.14 %) women delivered vaginally and 5973 (53.86 %) women delivered through Caesarean section. RESULTS Overall caesarean section percentage was 53.86 %. Major contributors for the CSR were Group 5, 2 and 1 in that order. CS rate in Group 5 and 1 is relatively increased. Ratio of relative size of Group 1 and 2 is 1:2 indicating a greater number of prelabour caesarean sections in nulliparous women. Caesarean section rate in Group 1 and 2 was 15.7 % and 20.1 % respectively. The main indications for caesarean sections being fetal distress, non-progressive labour and severe oligohydramnios / anamnios. Relative size of Group 1 and 5 was 47.3 % stating that most of the obstetric population was in Group 1 and 5. Caesarean section rate in Group 3 and Group 4 was relatively higher than expected; this may be due to our institute being a referral center. Group 5 contributed 45.7 % to overall caesarean section rate. CONCLUSIONS Standardisation of indication of Caesarean deliveries, regular audits and definite protocols in hospital will aid in decreasing the Caesarean section rate in hospital.

Introduction : Despite the lack of scientific evidence indicating any substantial maternal and perinatal benefits from increasing caesarean section rates, most of the studies are showing that higher rates could be linked to negative consequences in maternal and child health, still caesarean rates continues to increase worldwide, particularly in middle and high income countries, and have become a major and controversial public health concern. Therefore, we conducted this study to analyse the LSCS rate in the institute, to classify the indications of LSCS as per RTGCS and to find out strategy to decrease the prevalence of lower segment caesarean section. Material & Methods : This is a retrospective hospital based study at tertiary care centre. Data collection of one thousand pregnant females who delivered by caesarean section from the period of January 2018 onwards was assessed for the study. There are six parameters as per Robson’s classification to classify all pregnant females for caesarean section. Entire information was entered in Microsoft excel sheet and analysis were done to decrease caesarean section rate. Results : In the present study, a total of 1000 pregnant women delivered by caesarean section was taken from January 2018 onwards. The total number of deliveries during this study period was 2919 and the overall caesarean section rate was 34.25%. Most of the patients belonged to Robson’s group 1,2&5 which contributed to 65.6% to total. Conclusion :  The overall CSR in the study is 34.25% which is high as compared to international studies, contribution of repeat CS is high. It is important that efforts to reduce the overall CS rate should focus on reducing the primary CS rate. More analytical studies based on Robson’s 10-group classification system are needed locally, to evaluate the indications of CS within each group.

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.

Objectives. To study the trend of Caesarean section (CS) rate increase in the Tula region. Methods. A multicenter retrospective study of labor and delivery reports of women in Tula region, Russia who had CS procedures between the years 2000 and 2010. Robson’s Ten-Group Classification System (10-group classification) provides a clinically relevant classification of CS rates that provides a useful basis for internation-al comparisons and trend analyses. Results. In Tula region the total number of deliveries increased by 26.6% from the year 2000 as compared to 2010, the CS rate increased from 17.1 to 27.7%. The increase in CS deliveries was mostly attributed to three characteristic groups: multiparous women with uterine cicatrix; primaparous women who had medical conditions for a planned CS and these, who had labor induction; women with a gestational age less than 37 weeks. The largest Robson group was nulliparous women in spontaneous labor. Conclusions. Future efforts to reduce the overall CS rate should be focussed on reducing the primary CS rate.
