Abstract
Aim: To identify independent predictors of cesarean section in a term nulliparous women. Methods: A cohort study included of 300 nulliparous patients presenting in labour at term with singleton vertex fetuses who were followed till delivery either vaginally (n = 198) or by cesarean section (n = 102). Multiple logistic regression was used to identify independent demographic and clinical predictors for cesarean delivery.Results: Increased maternal weight, advanced gestational age, social pressure, change in cervical dilatation & cervical effacement after two hours of admission, finally change in fetal head station after two hours of admission remained independently significant. Conclusions: The use of demographic and clinical criteria early during labour in nulliparous women with vertex presentation mayreduce the potential morbidity associated with prolonged labour or second stage cesarean delivery.
