Objective: This study aimed to identify and highlight the changing trends in cesarean deliveries in a tertiary hospital using the Robson Ten Group Classification Method: A retrospective cohort study included 103745 patients admitted to Istanbul Kanuni Training and Research Hospital's Obstetrics and Gynecology Department between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2021. Ten groups were established based on five basic obstetric factors: parity, labor initiation, gestational age, number of fetuses, and fetal presentation. All live or dead births over 500 g or 20 gestational weeks were included in the study. Women with missing file information were excluded from the study. Total number of cesarean sections in the group, total number of women in each group, group size (%), group cesarean rate (%), absolute group contribution to general cesarean section rate (%) group contribution relative to general cesarean section rate (%) were calculated. Cesarean section indications were evaluated in 10 categories and their numbers and rates were recorded. Statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS version 24.0 for Windows. Results: Our study’s average CS rate from 2012 to 2021 was 45.77%. The largest contributions to the total cesarean section rate were in group 5 (20.69%), group 3 (5.99%), and group 1 (5.75%). Conclusion: In our study, Robson groups 5, 3, and 1 comprised the majority of contributors to the total cesarean section performed. Any effort to reduce the rate of CS should focus on these subgroups. |
