摘要

Aim

Delivery type is a key factor for both mother and newborn baby. Cesarean delivery (CS) is a common childbirth method globally, though it presents risks for both mother and child. This study aims to investigate the factors associated with CS among women in Bangladesh.

Method

Data from 5152 women who gave birth within the last three years was obtained from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2017–2018. Chi-square analysis and logistic regression were applied to increase the understanding of the associated factors with CS.

Result

The study revealed that around 33% of women had undergone CS. The analysis found the sex of the household head to be insignificant at the 5% level. Older women had higher odds (OR = 2.264) of undergoing CS. Women from Dhaka and Rajshahi were more likely to have CS, while other regions showed no significant associations. Higher education levels in both women and their partners (OR = 1.649 and OR = 1.754) were strongly linked to CS. Wealthier women (OR = 1.629), those with increased weight (OR = 2.107), and those attending more antenatal care visits (OR = 7.516) were more likely to have CS. Conversely, working women (OR = 0.654) and those with more children (OR = 0.401) were less likely to undergo CS.

Conclusion

This study highlights the significant influence of antenatal care visits, maternal education, and regional differences on CS rates in Bangladesh. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the socio-demographic factors driving CS delivery, which were underexplored in earlier research.
