Abstract :

Aim: To analyse the caesarean rates in a tertiary care hospital according to Robsons Ten group Classification System(TGCS)Method: Retrospective study Materials: The data collected from the recordsPlace of study: Govt.Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College Hospital , Salem. Study period: Jan 2015 to Dec 2015.Results: Total deliveries were 6896. The caesarean delivery rate is 50%. Majority of the women belonged to group 1(28.9%) and 3(24.3%).Highest caesarean delivery rate(CDR) is in group 5 and is 98.1%. There is a very high CDR observed in group 1(30%) and 3(19.3%).Conclusion: The TGCS is useful to compare and analyse the caesarean deliveries within and between the health facilities as recommended by WHO. Reduction in caesarean rates decreases the morbidity in the mothers and ensures proper utilization of the resources.Improving the infrastructure and manpower will possibly ingdown the prevailing high caesarean rate in our hospital.
