The Effect of Prenatal Education on Primary Cesarean Rate
The Effect of Prenatal Education at Pregnancy School on Primary Cesarean Rate
This is a prospective case-control study examining the impact of antenatal education on mode of delivery. The study will include all deliveries occurring between January 2024 and December 2024. Participants will be divided into two groups: a case group consisting of women who attended antenatal classes (pregnancy school) and a control group of women who did not. The primary outcome will be mode of delivery (vaginal or cesarean).
The study will collect data on gravida and parity. Participants will be further categorized into four groups based on their delivery history:
Women undergoing a cesarean section for their first delivery. Women experiencing a normal vaginal delivery for their first delivery. Women with a history of vaginal delivery who have another vaginal delivery in this pregnancy.
Women with a history of vaginal delivery who deliver via cesarean section in this pregnancy.
Each of these four groups will have a corresponding case (antenatal class attendees) and control (non-attendees) subgroup.
Data on cesarean section indications, the name of the physician performing the cesarean, and the hospital's annual primary cesarean section rates will be requested from the hospital and compared across groups. For the case group, information regarding the specific antenatal education received, the gestational week at which the education was received, and patient characteristics such as age, infant birth weight, and educational level will also be collected.
