Women who give birth to their first child by caesarean section are far less likely to have a subsequent vaginal delivery than if they have an instrumental delivery, according to new research. Researchers surveyed 283 women three years after they underwent instrumental vaginal... view more... (2004-01-14)
New method for predicting risk of emergency caesarean section after a previous caesarean
A paper published in PLoS Medicine provides a novel method for estimating the risk of emergency caesarean section after a previous caesarean section. view more (2005-09-13)
Obstetric complications among older women cannot explain their high caesarean rates
Delivery by caesarean section is associated with advancing age, yet a study in this week's BMJ finds that this relation cannot be entirely explained by obstetric complications among older women. This raises the question of why rates for caesarean section are high amongst older mothers. The research team analysed over 23,000 deliveries to Aberdeen... view more... (2001-04-10)
SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA'S NEED FOR CAESAREAN SECTIONS
The observed rate of cesarean section in west African women is 1-3%, conclude authors of a systematic review in this week's of The Lancet. Caesarean sections are considered to be necessary in about 5-15% of women in more-developed countries. In sub-Saharan Africa the rate of caesarean section operations is thought to be about 1%, mainly due to... view more... (2001-10-17)
Caesareans could make it more difficult to have other children
Women having their babies by caesarean section could find it harder to become pregnant later, a study has found.

The seven thousand women were all part of the... view more... (2002-07-02)

'Second opinion' partly successful in reducing unnecessary caesarean sections in Latin America (pp 1921, 1934)
Results of a randomised trial of Latin American hospitals in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest a way of reducing the costs associated with unnecessary caesarean-section deliveries. Latin America has the highest rate of caesarian sections-around a quarter of all deliveries-than any other part of the world. Fernando Althabe from the Centro... view more... (2004-06-09)

Urgent action needed to improve maternal care in Latin America
Unnecessary caesarean section is known to increase health risks for both mother and infant, while routine episiotomy has no benefit. Two studies in this week’s BMJ illustrate the gap between evidence and practice in maternal care. The first study shows that many poor women in Brazil actively seek a caesarean section because of fear of... view more... (2002-04-16)
