“…A recent Australian study also found that the distribution of women in Robson groups differed between the different country of birth groups, and the highest overall CS rate was found in women from South Asia. These women had consistently higher adjusted CS rates in Robson groups one to four (Trinh, Assareh, Achat, Chua, & Guevarra, 2018). An increased risk of emergency CS is well documented in African immigrant women, and several explanations for this risk have been suggested, such as the high incidence of female genital mutilation (FGM) in these women (The United Nations Children's Fund [UNICEF], 2005).…”

Researchers have shown that some immigrant groups have an increased risk of emergency cesarean section. The authors' aim was to examine the differences in emergency cesarean section rates among immigrant women in Norway with low obstetric risks by using the Robson classification system. We performed secondary analysis on a Norwegian cohort study, where 10,125 women were classified in Robson groups one and three. Women from East, Southeast, and Central Asia, and from Africa had a higher risk of emergency cesarean section. The Robson classification system was a useful tool in comparing cesarean section rates between immigrant groups and host country populations.
