Abstract
The objective of this study is to determine the rateof cesarean sections according to Robson’s classification. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Observational, retrospective cross-sectional research, at a descriptive level, in 928 deliveries attendedduring the year 2019 at the Departmental Hospital of Huancavelica. The technique was documentary analysis, and the data collection from the Clinical History was used. The analysis of the results was carried out based on Robson’s classification and descriptive statistics. RESULTS: The 928 deliveries were distributed in greater proportion in the groups: 1: 30%, 3: 25%, 2: 12%, 5: 10%, 10: 10% of Robson; the proportion of cesarean sections in adolescents was 53.1% (93/175), between 20 and 34 years old 52.1% (325/624) and between 35 and 49 years old 61.2%(79/129); among women residing in urban areas 49.2% and rural areas 59%. The overall cesarean section rate was 53.8%. The proportion of cesarean sectionsin each Robson group was: 1: 39%,2: 84.2%, 3: 20%, 4: 85.7%, 5: 80.4%, 6: 100%, 7: 100%, 8: 88.2%, 9: 100%, 10: 72.2%. The groupsthat contributed the most to theoverall absolute and relative rate of cesarean section were groups: 1: 11.6% and 21.6%; 2: 10.3% and 19.3%; 5: 58.4% and 15.6%, 10: 7.0% and 13.0%. Conclusion: The cesarean section rate in the hospital is high, but it is possible to reduce it since a large number ofbirths were located in Robson’s group 1, which very rarely requiresthe operation.
