Cesarean deliveries were performed in only 95 (73%) facilities. Facility\u2010specific cesarean delivery rates were influenced by previous cesarean, pre\u2010eclampsia, induced labor, referral status, and higher health facility classification scores. Pre\u2010eclampsia increased the risks of maternal death, fresh stillbirths, and severe neonatal morbidity. Adjusted emergency cesarean delivery rate was associated with more fresh stillbirths, neonatal deaths, and severe neonatal morbidity\u2014probably related to prolonged labor, asphyxia, and sepsis. Adjusted elective cesarean delivery rate was associated with fewer perinatal deaths.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Use of cesarean delivery is limited in the African health facilities surveyed.
