Abstract

The rate at which caesarean sections are performed is widely recognised as an indicator of the overall quality of maternal health services. The World Health Organization has recognised the Robson ten-group categorization system as the definitive method for assessing the frequency of caesarean sections. The purpose of this research was to calculate the C-section rate and analyse it using the Robson grading scale. Discussion of a Topic and Procedures: Minia University's Mother and Child Hospital served as the study's cross-sectional site. The information for all births that occurred between April and September of 2022 was gathered from medical records. The total rate of caesarean sections was determined, and women's births were categorised into one of eleven Robson categories. As an end result, we looked at data from 3,860 births. There were 2188 caesarean sections (56.6% of total births) and 1672 spontaneous vaginal delivery deliveries (43.3%). The highest proportion of C-sections come from Group 5, which has been isolated as a major clientele for the procedure. The Robson method indicated that high-risk groups had a much higher incidence of caesarean section. It is important to do in-depth research on the Robson groups of interest in order to identify potentially risk factors as well as to take advantage of targeted interventions in order to reduce the prevalence of caesarean sections. Better outcomes may be achieved by a combination of auditing existing treatment methods and areas for further research on caesarean section reason and outcomes .
