Cesarean section trends from 1992 to 2023 in Estonia among singleton term pregnancies: A registry-based study
The increase in CS occurred primarily due to the increase in CS rates among nulliparous women with a singleton pregnancy at term. More attention must be given to nulliparous women to prevent CS and maintain vaginal births after CS. To improve the quality of maternity care, it is essential to monitor the indicators of CS based on Robson's criteria.
