Investigating variation in cesarean delivery in Sweden and Canada using the Robson Ten Group Classification System

This project aims to identify subpopulations of pregnant individuals responsible for differences in CD rates between Sweden and British Columbia (BC), Canada using the Robson classification system.

Further, we sought to quantify the contribution of maternal characteristics, obstetric practice factors, and fetal characteristics to variations in the CD rate (a) between countries; and (b) within each country over a 13-year period.
