Published By: CDS on eSS | Published Date: March, 25 , 2001Caesarean section rates have been increasing world-wide raising
the question of the appropriateness of the selection of cases for the
procedure. This paper examines the levels and correlates of delivery
related complications and caesarean section deliveries in eighteen selected
states of India in terms of specific maternal and institutional factors,
using data from the National Family Health Surveys, 1992-93. Goa (15.3
per cent) and Kerala (13.7 per cent) were the two states with relatively
higher caesarean section rates. [Working Paper No. 314]
