Changes in indications for cesarean delivery
OBJECTIVES: The percentages of cesarean deliveries attributable to specific indications (breech, dystocia, fetal distress, and elective repeat cesarean) were computed for 1985 and 1994. METHODS: Data were derived from the 1985 and 1994 National Hospital Discharge Surveys. RESULTS: Dystocia was the leading indication for cesarean delivery in both years. In comparison with 1985, cesareans performed in 1994 that were attributable to dystocia and bre…
Pregnancy-related weight gain and retention
OBJECTIVES. Guidelines from the Institute of Medicine's 1990 report call for weight gains during pregnancy that are higher than those previously recommended. This study examines the potential implications of compliance with these guidelines for postpartum weight retention. METHODS. Weight retention 10 to 18 months following delivery was examined for selected women who had live births in the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey. Women's…

Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) in the 1980s
The incidence of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) and characteristics of VBAC births are investigated using 1980-85 National Hospital Discharge Survey Data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics. Only 3.4 per cent of mothers with previous cesarean delivery had VBAC in their subsequent 1980 delivery; this increased to 6.6 per cent in 1985. Because VBAC is a relatively infrequent event, 1980-85 data were combined and indicate tha…
Estimates of pregnancies and pregnancy rates for the United States, 1976-85
After increasing by 9 per cent in the period 1976-80 in the United States, pregnancy rates declined by 4 per cent between 1980 and 1984 (from 111.9 to 107.3 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15-44 years). Between 1984 and 1985, the rate rose by less than 1 per cent to 108.2. More detailed data by age and race, available only through 1983, indicate that the decline in the 1980-83 period was not shared by all age groups. For example, pregnancy rates…

Trends in the United States cesarean section rate and reasons for the 1980-85 rise
The rate of cesarean section delivery in the United States rose from 4.5 per 100 deliveries in 1965 to 22.7 in 1985, and in 1985 an estimated 851,000 live births were cesarean deliveries, according to data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey. This increase has been observed for all ages, and within all regions of the country. The rate for teenagers and mothers aged 20 to 29 was five to six times as high in 1985 as in 1965, and four times …
Advice about weight gain during pregnancy and actual weight gain
In the 1980 National Natality Survey, married mothers were asked whether their doctors had suggested a weight gain limit during pregnancy and, if so, what limit was suggested. Current obstetric recommendations call for 22-27 pound weight gain. Previous research indicates that gaining less than 16 pounds greatly increases the likelihood of a poor pregnancy outcome. Reported advice varied by mother's race, education, parity, and prepregnancy weight…

Complications in cesarean and non-cesarean deliveries
Using 1980 National Hospital Discharge Survey data, complications reported for cesarean and non-cesarean deliveries coded by the Ninth Revision ICD-CM are compared. While over 16 per cent of all deliveries in 1980 were by C-section, 94 per cent of the deliveries where maternal-infant disproportion was noted were by C-section, and this complication was noted in one-fourth of all C-section deliveries. Similarly, where malposition or malpresentation…
Cesarean section delivery rates
The rate of cesarean section delivery in the United States has risen from 4.5 per 100 deliveries in 1965 to 17.9 in 1981. The rate is highest in the Northeast, in hospitals of 500 beds or more, in proprietary hospitals, for Blue Cross as a source of payment, and for mothers aged 35 years and over. The rate is lowest in the North Central region, in hospitals with less than 100 beds, in government hospitals, for self-pay patients, and for mothers u…
Postpartum sterilization in cesarean section and non-cesarean section deliveries
National Hospital Discharge Survey data indicate that the overall postpartum sterilization rate per 100 deliveries increased by 75 per cent from 4.0 in 1970 to 7.0 in 1975; by type of delivery, rates rose from 18.0 per 100 cesarean section deliveries and 3.2 for all other deliveries in 1970 to 19.0 and 5.6 respectively in 1975. The South had the highest postpartum sterilization rates overall. Deliveries to older mothers and cesarean section deliv…
