Primary cesarean delivery rate: Potential impact of a checklist.
Journal of Gynecology Obstetrics and Human Reproduction 2018 November
BACKGROUND: Cesarean section is the most common surgical procedure performed in developed countries. Its incidence is increasing to a worrisome extent. The 2003 French National Perinatal Survey showed that the inflation in the overall cesarean rate was mainly due to an increase in the first cesarean delivery rate.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a new tool: a checklist that intent to decrease the first cesarean delivery rate.
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective, observational, multi-center study. A new tool, a "First cesarean delivery" checklist was built according American and French guidelines. Women with full-term of pregnancy, nulliparous or multiparous with a first caesarean delivery including arrest of labor, breech presentation or suspected fetal macrosomia were included. The checklist was applied. Potentially preventable cesareans were analyzed.
RESULTS: Among 571 first cesarean section, 178 were eligible to check list application. 147 charts were analyzed in the study. 11.9% of first cesarean deliveries performed were potentially avoidable after applying the checklist. This represented 6.6% of all cesareans.
CONCLUSION: The checklist based on the recall of good practices could be an interesting tool to decrease the first cesarean rate.
