Abstract

A standardized proforma was used to collect the data of each primigravida patient presenting in spontaneous labour at term with singleton pregnancy with either caesarean or vaginal delivery.

In multivariate logistic regression analysis, presence of hypertension status (odds ratio [OR] 5.7, 95% CI; 1.56-20.84) and gestational age less than 40 weeks (OR 2.60, 95% CI 1.34-5.02), fetal weight more than 3000gm (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1-2.95), were associated with higher odds of cesarean delivery.
Conclusion: Primigravida with presence of hypertension, having gestational age less than 40 weeks and heavier fetus were associated with higher odds of cesarean delivery.
