Vaginal Birth after Cesarean Delivery: Variables affecting Outcome

ABSTRACT

In this retrospective study, case records of 156 women with previous one cesarean who underwent trial of labom were analysed. Use of oxytocin, previous vaginal delivery and indication of previous cesarean were studied as predictive factors for success. One hundred out of 156 (64.1 %) women with previous cesarean section delivered vaginally. 2.56% of women experienced uterine rupture. The only variable that predicted successful outcome was previous vaginal delivery. Use of oxytocin and indication of previous cesarean did not affect the success rate of vaginal birth after cesarean.
