Abstract
Objective: To study the cesarean section rate and to present the indications for cesarean section
Methods: This was retrospective study. Pregnant women who underwent cesarean section during October 2003 and September 2008 at Buriram Hospital were recruited in this study. Demographic and obstetric data including indications of cesarean section and pregnancy outcomes were collected and analyzed.
Results: There were 1,855, 1,965, 1,996, 2,016 and 2,217 cases of cesarean section (30.67%, 30.98%, 34%, 35.28% and 38.52%) in Fiscal year 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively, the major indication was cephalopelvic disproportion (38.33%). Previous cesarean section and breech presentation were second and third most common indication (28.79%, 12.08%) respectively.
Conclusion: The increasing cesarean section rate was due to rising of elective cesarean section. Cesarean section without obstetric indication should be reconsid-ered to lower the cesarean section rate.
Key words: Cesarean section, indication, elective cesarean section
