Cesarean delivery in a tertiary institution of the Republic of Moldova: analysis using the Robson classification.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe worldwide increase in the cesarean delivery rate is a major public health concern and cause of significant debate. Although multiple studies have shown that higher cesarean delivery rates may be associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes, the number of cesarean deliveries has been continuously increasing. In the Republic of Moldova, cesarean delivery increased from 15.75% in 2012 to 27.42% in 2022. However, the perinatal mortality remained unchanged at 11.6%. To understand the factors that determine the increasing trend in cesarean delivery and to approach new strategies to reduce unnecessary surgical delivery, a standardized tool is needed to assess and compare cesarean delivery rates.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the changes in the rates and trends of cesarean delivery and to evaluate the contribution of different obstetrical populations to overall cesarean delivery rates in the Municipal Clinical Hospital using the Robson classification. STUDY
designThis was a cohort study conducted at the Municipal Clinical Hospital in Chisinau. The study included 13,882 women who gave birth in 2017, 2019, and 2022 at the Municipal Clinical Hospital. All births were classified into 10 Robson groups, using 6 basic variables (parity, cesarean delivery in medical history, labor onset, number of fetuses, gestational age, and fetal presentation). Statistical data were collected and analyzed using the Epi Info program (version 7.2.1.0; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA).
resultsThe overall cesarean delivery rate was 20.02% (2779/13,882), with a significant increase from 18.59% (809/4351) to 21.59% (1134/5252) (
conclusionThe Robson Ten-Group Classification System provides a clear and detailed record of the trends in cesarean delivery. In addition, because of the Robson Ten-Group Classification System's simplicity and exclusivity, it can be implemented in the Republic of Moldova. The main contributors to the overall cesarean delivery rate were women with a previous cesarean delivery (group 5), followed by nulliparous women of group 2 and group 1.
