Prevalence of successful vaginal birth after caesarean section and its associated factors among women delivered in the university of Gondar comprehensive specialized referral hospital, Northwest Ethiopia

Our study demonstrated a low prevalence of successful VBAC, highlighting that factors such as a prior history of VBAC, spontaneous vaginal delivery at any time, cervical dilatation at admission, history of stillbirth, ANC follow-up, and fetal station at admission are significantly associated with positive outcomes. This evidence clearly indicates that targeted, evidence-based interventions are urgently needed to improve VBAC success rates. Therefore; the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), policymakers, and relevant stakeholders should collaborate to develop, implement, and continuously review comprehensive policies and guidelines that support these targeted interventions.
