Caesarean Section Audit Report ~ 2016

Supervision: Haifa A Al-Chalabi FRCOGDone by: Hashem M Yaseen MBBS

Introduction & Background 1. Caesarean sections are effective in saving maternal and infant lives, but only when they are required for

medically indicated reasons.

2. at population level, caesarean section rates higher than 10% are not associated with reductions in maternal and newborn mortality rates.

3. Caesarean sections can cause significant and sometimes permanent complications, disability or death particularly in settings that lack the facilities and/or capacity to properly conduct safe surgery and treat surgical complications. Caesarean sections should ideally only be undertaken when medically necessary.

4. Every effort should be made to provide caesarean sections to women in need, rather than striving to achieve a specific rate.

5. The effects of caesarean section rates on other outcomes, such as maternal and perinatal morbidity, paediatric outcomes, and psychological or social well-being are still unclear

~WHO Statement on Caesarean Section Rates 2015

• In 2004 comparison of CS rates in Jordan between two periods, 1990-1992 and 1999-2001 showed 2.9% increase in the CS rate in the second period (8% to 10.9%)

~ Hindawi IM1, Saudi Med J. 2004

• According to WHO in 2010, the CSR in Jordan was 18.5 %

~World Health Report (2010) Background Paper, No 30

• The rate of cesarean sections was higher (27.7%) in The National Maternal Morbidity Study (2007-2008) that conducted by The Higher Population Council in collaboration with the Jordanian Health Sector.

Introduction & Background

Page 4: Csr  audit hashem 2016 last modification

Introduction & Background • This audit presents the findings of the data of caesarean section rate

(CSR) in the Department of Obstetric and Gynecology in King Abdullah university hospital (KAUH \ OG).

• The audit provides information about the range and determinants of CSR with comparative data about demographic and clinical factors that may be influential.

• The data collected in this audit represent set of data collected between October to December in the year 2015

• This audit can be used as the basis for the development of continued local audit.

Page 5: Csr  audit hashem 2016 last modification

Audit methodology• Detailed information was collected for every caesarean delivery that took place

during the three-month study period using clinical data form• There were 18 questions on each clinical data form covering demographic

characteristics, details of the index pregnancy, previous obstetric history• Information was collected for all births and all CS using closed questions. All

questions were pre-coded. Data were entered manually into SPSS. • Data pertaining to infants who were less than 24 weeks of gestation were excluded

from the analysis.

Data items collected on all births

• Mother’s age• Parity• Number of previous caesarean sections• Gestation age• Labour ( not in labour, spontaneous, induced) • Number of babies • Presentation at delivery• Mode of delivery• Outcome of pregnancy (live/stillbirth)• Birthweight of baby(ies)

•Table 3 shows the CSR, primary and repeat CSR. The primary CSR shown is the rate of CS for women who have not had a previous CS, regardless of parity and cause. This was 39.6 % of CSR.

• The repeat CSR was 60.4 %, including 31.6 % with previous one CS, and 28.8 % with two or more previous CS. Higher rates of repeat CS are associated with higher overall CSR.

•Rate of vaginal birth after CS (VBAC) is around 4%. This is including 31 of cases (19% of cases who have previous one CS).

•Of all CS, 57.3% were classified as elective, 42.7% were emergency procedures.

•Maternal request is the second most commonly cited reason for performing a CS, it is reported by clinicians to be performed for maternal request contributed 18.2 % overall CSR. But 51 cases of maternal request (64.6%) have one previous CS, and they asked for CS directly without trial of labour, which means that 35.4 % of cases were primarily performed for maternal request ( 28 of cases) which equal 6.44% of overall CSR.

Influence of population and clinical Influence of population and clinical characteristics on caesarean section rate characteristics on caesarean section rate

Maternal ageMaternal ageBackgroundLess than one-third of ever-married women (31 percent) are under age 30. This represents a decline from 34 percent in 2002 and 32 percent in 2007 and 2009. This decline in the proportion of young women in the ever-married population is mainly the consequence of increasing age at marriage. In contrast, the proportion of ever-married women age 30-49 has increased from 66 percent in 2002 to 68 percent in 2007 and 2009 and to 69 percent in 2012. ~ The 2012 Jordan Population and Family Health Survey (JPFHS)

On average, a woman in Jordan will give birth to less than one child (0.8) by age 25 and, similarly, about two children (1.9) between the ages of 25 and 34 years. In the age group 15-19 years, fertility rates are quite low (26 births per 1,000 women). Rates then increase dramatically to reach a maximum of 209 births per 1,000 women in the age group 25-29 years. Above age 29, rates decline slowly but regularly. ~ (2012 JPFHS)

Gestation and birthweightGestation and birthweightBackground•ICD-11 classification defines low birthweight as less than 2500 g, very low birthweight as less than 1500 g and extremely low birthweight as less than 1000 g. Gestational age is defined as the duration of gestation measured from the first day of the last normal menstrual period expressed as completed days or completed weeks. Preterm birth is defined as less than 37 completed weeks, term as 37 completed weeks to less than 42 completed weeks, post term as 42 completed weeks or more.

•The incidence of low birthweight was 10% in Jordan 1997

Induction of labourInduction of labourBackground•Induction of labour is defined as an intervention designed to artificially initiate uterine contractions leading to progressive dilatation and effacement of the cervix and birth of the baby. This includes women with intact membranes and women with spontaneous rupture of the membranes but who are not in labour.

Induction of labourInduction of labourBackground•Induced labour was associated with fetal distress; electronic fetal monitoring predicts fetal distress and operative deliveries; operative deliveries had an effect on lower Apgar scores at 1 minute; Apgar scores at 1 minute have a direct effect on fetal distress, lower Apgar scores at 5 minutes and need for resuscitations. Oxytocin for induction predicted perineal trauma, perianal trauma has a direct effect on postpartum haemorrhage . Postpartum haemorrhage had a direct effect on lower haemoglobin level six weeks following birth, birth weight had a direct effect on Apgar score at 5 minutes.

Induction of labourInduction of labourThe Audit results•The overall rate of induction of labour was 16.2 %. Forty-seven percent of inductions were in women who were primigravid, 53% in women who were multiparous with no previous CS.

•Overall, 84% of inductions were carried out before 41 weeks and 16% after 41 weeks of gestation, 3% of inductions were carried before 32 weeks of gestations, and the remaining 4% carried between 33-36 wks.

The Audit results•The overall CSR among women who had induction of labour was about 34%. Among primigravid women, the CSR was 43%, and among multiparous women with no previous CS it was 16%.

•The most influential factor in deciding to perform these CS was presumed fetal compromise (48% cases), failure to progress (35% cases), maternal refusal to continue IOL (11% cases), and cord prolapsed (4% = 2 cases).

Background •The National Maternal Morbidity Study (2007-2008) that conducted by The Higher Population Council in collaboration with the Jordanian Health Sector found that multiple pregnancies accounts 5.1 % as one of the main reasons for cesarean section between Jordanian women.

•Same study found Also that multiple pregnancies considered as a morbidity, on which contributed 1.6 % in current pregnancy (2007-2008) and History of 1.3 % morbidity during last pregnancy (before the current) regarding Jordanian women.

Multiple pregnanciesMultiple pregnanciesBackground

•The incidence of twins varies considerably between communities and families and has recently increased because of the number of older mothers and the use of fertility treatments and assisted conception.

•Infants from a twin pregnancy are at a higher risk of death around the time of birth than are infants from a singleton pregnancy.

•Some of this is due to a higher risk of preterm birth.

•The second-born twin has an increased risk of a poor perinatal outcome compared with the first-born twin

The Audit results•The multiple birth rate was approximately 40 per 1000 pregnancies. The twinning rate was 30 per 1000 pregnancies. Higher order births occurred at a rate of 10 per 1000.•Preterm birth was more common with multiple pregnancy. Sixty four percent of twin pregnancies delivered before 37 weeks gestation (compared with 10.5 % of singletons).

CSR upon Maternal requestCSR upon Maternal requestBackground• Cesarean delivery on maternal request is defined as a primary prelabor cesarean delivery on

maternal request in the absence of any maternal or fetal indications.

• Recent study (2015) aimed to determine the popularity of cesarean sections on demand among women in Saudi Arabia They found 80.9% of the study population preferred vaginal delivery. Among the women who preferred vaginal delivery, 62.8% did so because they needed a shorter time to return to normal life, while 70.3% of the women who preferred CS did so because they wanted to avoid labor pains.

• Estimates of the prevalence of cesarean delivery on maternal request range from 1 to 18 percent of all cesarean deliveries worldwide, and <1 to 3 percent of all cesarean deliveries in the United States

~ PubMed: Trends in maternal request cesarean delivery from 1991 to 2004. [Obstet Gynecol. 2007]

• The potential benefits of elective cesarean delivery as compared to vaginal delivery are not fully understood but are thought to include decreased risk of urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, anal sphincter damage, and fecal incontinence. Elective cesarean delivery also has the benefit of flexible timing for mother and physician.

CSR upon Maternal requestCSR upon Maternal requestBackground• Given the balance of risks and benefits associated with cesarean delivery on

maternal request, the Committee on Obstetric Practice offers the following recommendations:

• In the absence of maternal or fetal indications for cesarean delivery, a plan for vaginal delivery is safe and appropriate and should be recommended.

The following is recommended in cases in which cesarean delivery on maternal request is planned:

• Cesarean delivery on maternal request should not be performed before a gestational age of 39 weeks.

• Cesarean delivery on maternal request should not be motivated by the unavailability of effective pain management.

• Cesarean delivery on maternal request particularly is not recommended for women desiring several children, given that the risks of placenta previa,placenta accreta, and gravid hysterectomy increase with each cesarean delivery
