ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The objective of our study was to determine, in accordance with WHO recommendations, the rates of Caesarean sections in a French perinatal network according to the Robson classification and determine the benefit of the medico-administrative data (PMSI) to collect this indicator. This study aimed to identify the main groups contributing to local variations in the rates of Caesarean sections. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive multicentric study was conducted in 13 maternity units of a French perinatal network. The rates of Caesarean sections and the contribution of each group of the Robson classification were calculated for all Caesarean sections performed in 2014. The agreement of the classification of Caesarean sections according to Robson using medico-administrative data and data collected in the patient records was measured by the Kappa index. We also analysed a 6 groups simplified Robson classification only using data from PMSI, which do not inform about parity and onset of labour. RESULTS: The rate of Caesarean sections was 19% (14.5-33.2) in 2014 (2924 out of 15413 deliveries). The most important contributors to the total rates were groups 1, 2 and 5, representing respectively 14.3%, 16.7% and 32.1% of the Caesarean sections. The rates were significantly different in level 1, 2b and 3 maternity units in groups 1 to 4, level 2a maternity units in group 5, and level 3 maternity units in groups 6 and 7. The agreement between the simplified Robson classification produced using the medical records and the medico-administrative data was excellent, with a Kappa index of 0.985 (0.980-0.990). CONCLUSION: To reduce the rates of Caesarean sections, audits should be conducted on groups 1, 2 and 5 and local protocols developed. Simply by collecting the parity data, the excellent metrological quality of the medico-administrative data would allow systematisation of the Robson classification for each hospital.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of architectural premises' improvements on decision-to-delivery interval (DDI) in case of emergency cesarean sections. METHODS: A retrospective observational Before-After study conducted in a type III maternity, first from 2004 to 2009 (Period 1, P1) then after moving our unit to new premises from 2009 to 2013 (P2). DDI, maternal and neonatal outcomes of every emergency cesarean section were studied. RESULTS: The mean DDI of extremely urgent cesarean significantly decreased from 21.3±10.3minutes during P1 (n=294) to 14.9±7.14minutes during P2 (n=165). During P2 there was an increase in the proportion of extreme emergency cesarean sections done in less than 30minutes (85.1% versus 93.5%, P=0.003) as according to the ACOG recommendations, and also an increase of DDI of less than 15minutes (25.8% versus 61.1%, P<0.001). Also during P2 if there was a reduction of umbilical cord pHs, which were correlated to DDI, we observed a reduction of neonatal hospitalizations (42.2% versus 35.7%, P<0.001). Apgar score was correlated to umbilical cord pH and birth weight, but not to DDI. CONCLUSION: The space optimization has allowed our level III maternity to improve the rate of extreme emergency cesarean sections performed with DDI of less than 30 and even 15minutes, according to international recommendations. These results were obtained by reducing the transfer time to the operating room. Despite a positive correlation between DDI and umbilical cord pH, there was an improvement in neonatal outcomes associated with a decrease of neonatal hospitalizations.
