Variation in hospital caesarean section rates for women with at least one previous caesarean section: a population based cohort study

摘要

BackgroundInternationally, repeat caesarean sections make the largest contribution to overall caesarean section rates and inter-hospital variation has been reported. The aim of this study was to determine if casemix and hospital factors explain variation in hospital rates of repeat caesarean sections and whether these rates are associated with maternal and neonatal morbidity.
