🚼 In Brazil, cesarean section was the most common type of delivery between 2014 and 2022: 56.4% of births.
The study published in CSP analyzed more than 25 million births according to the Robson classification and revealed an excess of cesarean sections, even in low-risk groups.
The results indicate the need for effective actions to reduce unnecessary cesarean sections, including improvements in the management of labor in nulliparous women and greater encouragement of vaginal delivery after cesarean section.
