To analyse changing trends of cesarean section (CS) birth rates over an 11 year period (2000-2010) using the Robson Ten Group Classification System (RTGCS) to identify the main contributors to the rising CS birth rates at a tertiary teaching hospital in Singapore.

Changing trends of cesarean section births by the Robson Ten Group Classification in a tertiary teaching hospital.

Caesarean section incidence is steadily rising worldwide; the major contributor to this rise is pregnancies with previous caesarean section. Hence, it is important to scrutinise carefully the indication of primary caesarean sections. Preterm births, breech presentation and twin pregnancies together complicate 12-18% of all births. The role of caesarean section in these pregnancies is controversial and lacks good evidence-based guidelines. Policy on mode of delivery in these three important obstetric groups is bound to influence overall primary caesarean section rates. In this chapter, we review the evidence on the place of caesarean delivery in these three important groups.

Caesarean section for preterm birth and, breech presentation and twin pregnancies.

Diagnosis of intrauterine fetal growth restriction and prediction of small-for-gestation age are often based on fetal abdominal circumference or estimated fetal weight (EFW). The present study aims to create unconditional (cross-sectional) and conditional (longitudinal) standards of fetal abdominal circumference and EFW for use in an ethnic Chinese population.
