A comparative study between the rate of caesarean section in Robson TGCS -1 pregnant women in public versus private hospital in Chattogram
Abstract
Introduction: Caesarean Section (LSCS) is a major obstetric intervention for saving the life of the woman and newborns from pregnancy and birth-related complications. Nowadays, rising caesarean rates are a major public health concern of potential maternal and perinatal risk. In October 2014, the WHO adopted Robson classification as the official name ‘Robson TGCS’. The Robson classification system classifies all deliveries into ten groups based on a set of predefined obstetric parameters. RTGCS 1 includes Nulliparous women with a single cephalic pregnancy >_37 weeks of gestation in spontaneous labour. In our country, once the patient has a caesarean section, then her subsequent pregnancies will be delivered by LSCS. So, this study was designed Robson TGCS 1 patient, to examine the clinical profile of primary LSCS between public versus private hospitals and the indication.
Materials and Methodology: A comparative observational study was designed between Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) and Surgiscope Hospital Private Limited (SHL), 50 patients of RTGCS 1 from each of the hospitals from May 2022 to October 2022.
Results: In CMCH, patients admitted into the first stage of labour with complications were 37(74%), but in SHL, it was 7(14%). In CMCH 13(26%) admitted without complications, whereas in SHL 34(86%). In CMCH, normal vaginal delivery + instrumental deliveries were 17(34%), and in SHL, it is 36(72%). The rate of Caesarean section in CMCH 33(66%) but SHL 14(28%). The most common indication of caesarean section is foetal distress in CMCH 11(22%), in SHL 7(14%). In SHL, there are 4(8%) CDMR (caesarean delivery for maternal request), but none of the patients were in CMCH.
Conclusion: As our main objective is to reduce the rate of primary LSCS among RTGCS 1. so, we must ensure appropriate care during the antenatal and intranatal period, thus can reduce the rate of primary caesarean section.
