Results: The rate of cesarean section in the study group in 2022 reached 59.35%, higher than the group of women giving birth naturally (40.65%). Pregnant women with first-born children are scheduled for cesarean section in the fetal cause group, accounting for the highest rate at 68.49%, followed by the fetal adnexal cause group accounting for 26.71%, and the lowest cause group is the fetal cause group. due to social reasons accounting for 7.53%.

The cesarean section rate was highest in the under 19 age group (75%), gradually decreasing through higher age groups (P>0.05). All cases of breech presentation were referred for cesarean section, while only 56.9% of breech presentation cases received cesarean section (P<0.05). There was no difference in cesarean section rate between gestational age groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The rate of cesarean section is higher than that of vaginal birth with the most common cause being fetal distress. Indications for cesarean section are often due to a combination of many reasons. There is a relationship between address, ethnicity and fetal position with cesarean section rate.
