Normal Vs. Cesarean Delivery Ratio - The Main Reasons For Cesarean Delivery

Abstract

Child delivery is a multi-dimensional process with physical, emotional, social, physiological, cultural, and psychological dimensions. Although cesarean delivery can be a life-saving surgery, this procedure should be performed only when medically indicated, as complications that have adverse consequences for the mortality and morbidity of both the mother and the newborn are well documented in the literature.

The main purpose of this paper was to determine the ratio of normal & cesarean delivery ratio by determining the main reasons for cesarean births in the Regional Hospital of Ferizaj, Kosovo

The study was retrospective, descriptive, conducted at the Regional Hospital of Ferizaj in Kosovo, for a period of three years (2018-2020).

Normal births in January 2018 were 87.30% while in December 2028 this number has decreased to 77.30%. In contrast to this decline, births by cesarean section have increased significantly from 12.60 % in January to 22.68% in December 2018. In 2019, the ratio of normal births compared to cesarean sections has had smaller movements. However, even this year there is a decrease in the number of normal births and an increase in those with cesarean section. In 2020, the number of normal births increased slightly from 75.2% in January to 78.8% in December. In this annual period there has been a decrease in births by cesarean section, registering 24.8% in January and 22.2% in December.

Based on these findings we can conclude that in the last two years of the analyzed period we have a decrease in births by cesarean section and an increase in births by normal ways.
