Clasificación de cesáreas por Grupos de Robson en dos periodos comparativos en el Hospital de Manacor

Objective

To identify groups of women with changes in cesarean rates in two different periods.

Subjects and methods

Deliveries in the Manacor Hospital in 2000-2001 and 2005-2006, were analyzed through a retrospective review of clinical records and were grouped using Robsońs classification.

Results

The cesarean rate increased from 14 to 18.6% with a statistically significant increase among women with a single cephalic pregnancy at term who underwent labor induction or elective cesarean section. These two groups were the major contributors to the cesarean rate at our hospital.

Conclusion

A trend towards an increase in the rates of cesarean section was found during the study period. Robson's Classification allowed us to identify the groups of women contributing to this increase.
