“…The global number of deliveries via cesarean section is rising alarmingly day by day [10]. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that the acceptable range for cesarean deliveries should be between 10% and 15% and ought not to be lower than five percent [11]. Every year, almost 20 million newborns worldwide are delivered by cesarean section [12].…”

Cesarean section is the most challenging issue not only in developing countries but also in developed countries because it is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide, where the majority of cesarean sections are unnecessary. Unnecessary cesarean delivery in Bangladesh is widespread and is responsible for long-term and short-term health complications for both mothers and children. This study aimed to assess regional differences and sociodemographic factors associated with cesarean section delivery in Bangladesh. The most recent Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18 data was used in this study. A total of 5,299 ever-married women who gave birth within the three years preceding the survey were analyzed. A multilevel Poisson regression model was used to identify the sociodemographic factors associated with cesarean section deliveries in Bangladesh. The prevalence of cesarean section deliveries was about 33.0%. The result showed that women’s aged 30-36 years (IRR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.01–1.22), women’s secondary education (IRR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.14–2.02), higher secondary education (IRR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.35–2.47), partner’s secondary education (IRR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.05–1.57), higher secondary education (IRR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.25–1.91), women living in the Dhaka division (IRR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.04–1.43), women living in the Khulna division (IRR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.15–1.60), and women living in the Rajshahi division (IRR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.06–1.51), middle wealth index (IRR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.13-1.52), richest wealth index (IRR=1.59, 95% CI=1.37-1.84) and exposure to mass media (IRR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.27–1.64) were significantly more to deliver by cesarean section. Therefore, attention to women’s age, education, partner’s education, division, wealth index, and exposure to mass media might help policymakers make appropriate strategies and policies that would contribute to avoiding unnecessary cesarean section deliveries in Bangladesh.

Abstract: Objective: The increasing frequency of cesarean section (CS) is a major public health issue, and it is on the rise in Pakistan. The study aimed to investigate the frequency of caesarean section and assess the determinants of increasing frequency in three cities of Punjab. Study design: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary hospitals of Faisalabad, Chichawatni and Multan. Period: January 2020 to August 2020. Material and Methods: Data collection was done by using a self-developed study questionnaire. Results: The study's findings showed that at the time of first delivery, 52% of participants were at the age of 21 to 25 years. About 33% of participants had C-sections due to complications, while 14% preferred C-section without any complication to normal delivery. Relatively lower rates were found among less educated, poor families and in rural areas. A higher rate was observed in well-educated women, women from rich families and the urban regions. The majority of females are found to be totally dependent on their decision of C-section on their gynaecologist. Conclusion: Overall increasing trend of C- section in selected cities has been observed. Data of the study suggests the need for proper awareness to couples about preoperative and postoperative cares. This will help to reduce both infant mortality rates and maternal mortality rates in Punjab. Key Words: Frequency of C-section: Pregnancy complications: C-section: Gestational diabetes
