Dr. Reshma Joy, Dr. Bindu Menon

Abstract :

High Caesarean birth rates are of international public health concern. Dr Michael Robson of National Maternity Hospital, Dublin, Ireland, proposed a new classification, the Robson Ten–Group. The aim of the study was to evaluate the indications of primary caesarean sections and classify them according to modified Robson‘s 10 group. This clinical study was conducted at the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, JMMC&RI for a period of eighteen months. All women, who delivered during this period by primary section were included.

Results

Group 2 was the commonest (45.2% patients) followed by group 10. The commonest indication for CD was non–progression of labour and the next indication was non–reactive cardiogram (commonest indication in group 10 also).Induction to delivery interval overall was between 16 – 20 hrs (35.4%). Following CD 56.8% patients had no maternal complications but of those who had, baby sake (28.6%) was the commonest.
