Abstract
Objective: To assess the distribution of cesarean deliveries performed at a maternity hospital in Manaus-AM according to the Robson Ten Group Classification System (RTGCS) and to identify which groups contributed most to the institution's overall cesarean rate. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study including all pregnant women assisted at the maternity hospital in the period from January to June 2018. Results: After analyzing 1012 medical records, an overall cesarean rate was 38%. Groups 1, 3 and 5 accounted for 83.5% of the sample, with group 5 being the main contributor to an overall cesarean section rate (34.5%) followed by group 1 (28.8%) and group 2 (18.2%). Groups 2 and 4 had a cesarean section rate of 94.6% and 63%, respectively. Groups 6, 7, 8 and 9 contributed 9.1% to the global cesarean section rate. Conclusion: The global rate of cesarean delivery is above that recommended by the WHO, reflecting a tendency to perform cesarean delivery in patients with previous uterine scarring and reluctance to not offer vaginal delivery in this population. The rates of cesarean sections in groups 2 and 4 indicate the lack or absence of the practice of inducing labor.
