Abstract

In one department practicing critical review of indications for cesarean delivery, the overall LSCS rate was maintained at 12.3%, 11.1%, 11.2% and 11.4% for 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990, respectively. A highly significant (P = 0.0013) reduction of 26.8% was observed in the LSCS rate for cephalo-pelvic disproportion between 1987 and 1990. Perinatal mortality rate per 1000 births remained low at 8.25, 7.05, 9.39 and 5.83 for infants weighing 500 g or more.
