“…Many studies have indicated that CS upon patient's request with no medical indication (CDMR) is a major contributing factor towards an increased CS rate. In western countries, the proportion of obstetricians accepting this attitude ranges from 30 to 40% [3,10]. In our study, we observed almost twice this proportion among obstetricians in Egypt (66%).…”

“…4 A study performed in Belgium found that at least 2.6% of pregnant women planned to have surgical delivery. 14 In Italy, an interview carried out no later than the fifth day after delivery showed that 9% of the women with vaginal delivery and 27% of the women with a previous cesarean would have preferred vaginal delivery. 7 Obviously, studies performed during the puerperal period do not allow adequate assessment of the women's motivation during their pregnancy and are subject to influence from the delivery method that was actually used.…”

OBJECTIVE:To study factors related to preference for cesarean delivery, among pregnant women without medical complications. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was carried out among 156 pregnant women, in a private clinic in the city of Osasco, State of São Paulo, from October 2000 to December 2001. The pregnant women were at 28 weeks of pregnancy or more, with no formal contraindication for vaginal delivery at the time of the interview. Sociodemographic data and past and present obstetric history were assessed by applying a questionnaire. The pregnant women were specifically asked what their current preference for delivery was. Pearson's Chi-square test and logistic regression for multivariate analysis were performed with a 5% significance level. RESULTS:Sixty-seven pregnant women (42.9%) said they had little motivation to undergo vaginal delivery. In the multivariate analysis, the following variables were statistically significant: previous vaginal birth (p=0.001; ORadj=0.04; 95% CI=0.01-0.12); husband's monthly income greater than 750 reais (p=0.006, ORadj=3.44; 95% CI=1.38-8.33). The women with a previous vaginal delivery presented 25-fold lower chance of choosing cesarean delivery. The opinion that the previous delivery experience was unsatisfactory was marginally associated with the main outcome (p=0.06; ORadj=0.42; 95% CI=0.16-1.05). CONCLUSIONS:Motivation for cesarean delivery is associated with influences such as the type and degree of satisfaction with previous delivery and income.

“…Maternal request for CS can be patient driven but women's preferences might be also influenced by physicians' attitudes [25]. Physicians often suggest CS to their patients as the safe mode of delivery from their perspective [26].…”

Choices for delivery care are made based on the available resources and influence health outcomes of women and their children. The aim of the paper is to study utilization and preference for delivery care and related factors in one urban and one rural area of northern Vietnam. Two cohorts of pregnant women were carried out in DodaLab and FilaBavi Health and Demographic Surveillance Sites (HDSS) in Hanoi, Vietnam from April 2008 to December 2009. Together, 2515 pregnant women were identified and followed until delivery through quarterly household interviews using structured questionnaires. Almost all women delivered at health care facilities. Most of the rural women gave birth at primary health care facilities (88.5%) while urban women primarily used secondary and tertiary hospitals (93.6%). Caesarean section (CS) was used for 38.5% of births in the urban area and 12.4% in the rural. Giving birth in hospitals and CS were more common among highly educated women, employed women, women living in households or communities with good economic conditions, and women expected to give birth to a son. Technology preference in delivery care was associated with better socioeconomic conditions and expecting a boy. Improving the quality and reputation of primary health care facilities, informing women about CS risks and monitoring indications of CS are important policy issues.
