Abstract
Objective: The aim of our study, in light of the World Health Organization Multi-Country Survey (WHO-MCS) data examining the data of the Ministry of Health for the year 2022, comparing the cesarean sections (C/S) performed in the Republic of Turkey (TR) with the WHO-MCS data, and comparing the number of cesarean sections applied more than the reference values.
Materials and methods: According to the database of the Turkish Ministry of Health, in 2022, 1166175 deliveries took place in the Republic of Turkey, and 706370 (60.5%) cesarean section deliveries were recorded as 365764 (51%) primary C/S. Using the Ministry of Health registration system based on the Robson classification.
Results: The number and rate of C/S operations performed per birth in 2022 in TR (n=706370; 60.50%) were found to be significantly higher when compared to the number and rate of C/S on a global scale (n=246062; 21.10%), (p<0.001). When cesarean section operations performed in the Ministry of Health hospitals, private institutions, foundation universities, public universities and other public unit hospitals were compared with WHO MCS reference values and C/S ratios, 44.2% versus 24.7% (p=0.05), versus 77.4%, versus 34.2% (p<0.001), 74.3% versus 29.5% (p<0.001), 75% versus 35.8% (p<0.001), 69.3% versus 35.9% (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The amount of cesarean sections performed according to the total number of births in the Turkish Republic is relatively high and its cost nearly 1 billion 750 million TL.
