This hierarchy was examined for its clinical consistency, validated on a second sample, and compared with results obtained from logistic regression.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Principal Findings.<\/jats:bold> Four percent (19,664) of delivery discharges in 1995 underwent elective primary cesarean. Twelve clinical conditions contributed to the hierarchy, and accounted for 92.9 percent of all women experiencing elective primary cesarean delivery. The remaining 7.1 percent of the elective primary cesarean cases were classified as \u201cunspecified.\u201d<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions.<\/jats:bold> A standardized methodology (utilizing recursive partitioning algorithms) for assigning indications for elective primary cesarean is presented. This methodology relies on administrative data, classifies women with complex comorbidity patterns into clinically relevant subpopulations, and can be used to establish normative rates for benchmarking specific indications for cesarean delivery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1475-6773.10762","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,11]],"date-time":"2003-03-11T23:55:55Z","timestamp":1047426955000},"page":"1387-1401","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":88,"title":["Using Administrative Data to Identify Indications for Elective Primary Cesarean Delivery"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Kimberly D","family":"Gregory","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa M","family":"Korst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey A","family":"Gornbein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lawrence D","family":"Platt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","volume-title":"Guidelines for Vaginal Delivery after a Previous Cesarean Birth","author":"American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists","year":"1982"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","volume-title":"Guidelines for Vaginal Delivery after a Cesarean Childbirth","author":"American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","volume-title":"Quality Assurance in Obstetrics and Gynecology","author":"American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists","year":"1991"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","volume-title":"Vaginal Delivery after a Previous Cesarean Birth","author":"American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists","year":"1995"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","volume-title":"Vaginal Birth after Previous Cesarean Delivery","author":"American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","volume-title":"Evaluation of Cesarean Delivery","author":"American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists","year":"2000"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","first-page":"63","article-title":"Geographic Variations in the Use of Services","volume":"3","author":"Brook R.
