Caesarean section (C-section) rates are rising in many middle- and high-income countries, with the justification that higher rates of C-section are associated with better outcomes. A review of 79 studies comparing outcomes of elective caesarean sections with vaginal deliveries, including both observational studies and randomized trials, suggests that caesarean sections may have substantially greater risks than vaginal deliveries. In this issue of Epidemiology, Leung and colleagues present data from Hong Kong on morbidity in offspring related to C-section. Such studies are needed to widen the scope of possible health outcomes related to elective C-sections, including such endpoints as maternal satisfaction and women's relationship with their child. Testing of interventions to reduce unnecessary C-sections is also needed, with strategies to enhance the role of women in the process of their obstetric care.

在许多中高收入国家,剖腹产 (剖腹产) 率正在上升,理由是剖腹产率高与更好的结果相关。对79项研究进行了比较,包括观察性研究和随机试验,比较了选择性剖腹产与阴道分娩的结果,表明剖腹产的风险可能比阴道分娩大得多。在流行病学》中,Leung及其同事介绍了香港与剖腹产有关的后代发病率的数据。需要进行此类研究,以扩大与选择性剖腹产有关的可能健康结果的范围,包括产妇满意度和妇女与孩子的关系等终点。还需要测试干预措施以减少不必要的剖腹产,并制定战略以增强妇女在产科护理过程中的作用。
