Abstract
Objective To identify groups of women with changes in cesarean rates in two different periods. Subjects and methods Deliveries in the Manacor Hospital in 2000-2001 and 2005-2006, were analyzed through a retrospective review of clinical records and were grouped using Robsońs classification. Results The cesarean rate increased from 14 to 18.6% with a statistically significant increase among women with a single cephalic pregnancy at term who underwent labor induction or elective cesarean section. These two groups were the major contributors to the cesarean rate at our hospital. Conclusion A trend towards an increase in the rates of cesarean section was found during the study period. Robson's Classification allowed us to identify the groups of women contributing to this increase.
