ABSTRACT
Objectives: To determine the frequency of repeat Cesarean
Section in patients with previous one cesarean section
To compare the maternal and perinatal outcome in vaginal birth after Cesarean and
repeat caesarean section
Material and Methods: This Cross sectional study was
conducted at Obstetrics & Gynecology unit1 JPMC Karachi from Jan 2020 to31
Dec2020.A total of 137 women with history of previous one cesarean section were
included in this study. All patients’ history and examination was taken. The
data was collected on a predesigned Performa. Mean and Standard Deviation for
quantitative variables and percentage for categorical qualitative variables.
Maternal and perinatal outcomes was compared between women who have VBAC and
those who have repeat Cesarean section by using chi-square test with P-values less than or equal to 0.05
significant.
Results: The average age of the women was 29.88±3.26
years. Frequency of repeat caesarean section in patients with previous one
cesarean section was 52.55%. PPH was observed
in 37.96% cases while prolong hospital stay in 28.47%. There were 15.33% still
birth, Apgar score less than 7 in 42.34% at 1 minute, and NICU admission was
observed in 23.38%. Rate of Postpartum
hemorrhage and prolong hospital stay was significantly high in repeated
caesarean section.
Conclusion: All of the maternal and prenatal outcomes
were significantly high in repeated Cesarean section as compare to vaginal
deliveries. The trial of labor in women
with a single previous caesarean delivery can safely reduce rate of caesarean section.
