C-section rates and risk factors in primigravidae following induction of labour
Keywords:
C-section rates, Primigravida, laborAbstract
Background: Inducing labour is standard technique in all obstetric departments, and first-time moms are disproportionately represented among those who undergo induction yet ultimately need caesarean sections due to unsuccessful induction. Not only do complications during labour raise the risk of an emergency C-section, but so do conditions including preeclampsia, foetal distress, and gestational diabetes. The purpose of this research was to identify the rate of caesarean sections among first-time, full-term mothers who had undergone induction of labour and to identify risk variables linked with these procedures. Materials &Methods; Investigators from the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of Tartary care hospital collected data for this study from January 2022 to July 2022. Results: There were 63 total participants, all of whom were first-time moms who had been induced into labour and had presented at term. The average age of our patients was 29.62 5.65 standard deviations. Of the total number of patients, 28.5 (or 46%) had caesareans performed. The most common cause was pre eclampsia, which was detected in 15 women (24%). Conclusion: Among primigravidas who have induction of labour at term, preeclampsia is the most common reason that contributes to caesarean delivery, ultimately resulting in foetal distress.
