[Cesarean sections in the Centre-Val de Loire region: Practices and indications-the Robson Classification].
To study the cesarean section (c-section) practices in the French Centre-Val de Loire region: incidence of planned c-section and rate variations between maternities, incidence of potentially avoidable cesarean sections. ⋯ Specific actions were identified: targeted use of radiologic pelvimetry, targeted c-section on scarred uterus with only one previous cesarean section or breech presentation, as recommended by the national guidelines. The Robson classification should be widely used to evaluate and enhance practices, in particularly through painstakingly interpreted inter-maternity comparisons.
