Using linked data to explore medical complications associated with Robson classification of cesarean deliveries in Massachusetts, 2011 to 2018AJOG Global Reports at a Glance by Ruby Barnard-Mayers, MPH, Eugene Declercq, PhD, Eleanor J. Murray, ScD, Tina D. Yarrington, MD, FACOG, Martha M. Werler, DSc

“…Almost all births for malpresentation or malposition of fetus had at least one labor and delivery complication but much lower rates of risk factors (between 25% and 46%). Conclusion: While cesarean delivery rates, maternal risk factors, and labor and delivery complications followed similar patterns across Robson groups, there were notable discrepancies, especially in births with noncephalic presentations where maternal comorbidity rates matched lower cesarean-risk groups like the nulliparous single-term cephalic births.…”
