Rates of CS in this group of women differed significantly among different maternity units (from 4.1% to 20.9%; P&lt;0.001) suggesting significant differences in clinical practice. The most common indication for CS was cephalopelvic disproportion, which was diagnosed with different frequency in different units (from 11.2% to 45.9%; odds ratio 6.72; 95% confidence interval 3.10\u2013 14.71; P&lt;0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_sjph-2019-0010_s_008_w2aab3b7b4b1b6b1aab1c18b4Aa\">\n                    <jats:title id=\"d3593576e20766_w2aab3b7b4b1b6b1aab1c18b4aAa\">Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It is possible to use NPIS data to retrospectively classify indications for CS.
