While over 16 per cent of all deliveries in 1980 were by C-section, 94 per cent of the deliveries where maternal-infant disproportion was noted were by C-section, and this complication was noted in one-fourth of all C-section deliveries. Similarly, where malposition or malpresentation of the fetus was evident, 59 per cent of the mothers were delivered by C-section, and this complication was noted in one-sixth of all C-section deliveries. C-sections were also associated with placenta praevia, pre-eclampsia, infections of the genito-urinary tract, anemia, multiple births, and were almost universal for mothers who had had a previous C-section delivery. Competing explanations for the rise in C-sections from 5.5 per cent of deliveries in 1970 to 16.5 per cent in 1980 are discussed in the context of these findings. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.73.8.856","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,27]],"date-time":"2008-11-27T05:16:35Z","timestamp":1227762995000},"page":"856-860","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Complications in cesarean and non-cesarean deliveries: United States, 1980."],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"S M","family":"Taffel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P J","family":"Placek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"844","reference":[{"key":"p_1","first-page":"540","volume":"95","author":"Placek PJ","year":"1980","journal-title":"Public Health Rep"},{"key":"p_2","first-page":"183","volume":"96","author":"Placek PJ","year":"1981","journal-title":"Public Health Rep"},{"key":"p_3","first-page":"380","volume":"97","author":"Placek PJ","year":"1982","journal-title":"Public Health Rep"},{"key":"p_4","unstructured":"Marieskind HI: An evaluation of cesarean section in the United States.
