This chapter looked at the occurrence, trend, and indicators of CS at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) in order to enhance management results.
Between January 1,
2015, and December 31, 2019, the RSUTH performed 5,598 caesarean sections (3699
emergency, 1899 planned). The data was analysed using IBM Statistical Product
and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 25.0 Armonk, New York. There were 13,516
births and 5,598 instances of CS throughout the study period, resulting in a
prevalence of 41.4 percent or 414 per 1000 deliveries. 66.1 percent of CS cases
were emergency, while 33.9 percent were planned. There was an increase trend in
CS across the review period. The participants' average age was 32.301.04 years
(95 percent CI:30.26,34.34). 35-39 years old was the median age group,
accounting for 33.2 percent, followed by 30-34 years old (26.2 percent ). The
majority of the patients were multiparous [3396 (60.7%)], married [4890
(87.4%), Christians [5540 (99%)], and had a tertiary degree [2800 (50%)].
Previous caesarean section (34 percent) was the most prevalent reason for CS at
RSUTH, followed by cephalopelvic disproportion (75 percent), foetal distress
(41 percent), preeclampsia (39 percent), and multiple gestation (25 percent).
The number of
caesarean sections performed at RSUTH is increasing. Despite the fact that CS
saves lives, efforts should be made to lower the rate to the WHO-recommended
level, particularly in LMICs where CS is detested.
