Methods: Data was collected from obstetrics registries in tertiary care hospitals in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Results: The analysis of > 5,400 deliveries (60% of all the deliveries in 2016) in major maternity hospitals in Dubai showed that groups 5, 8 and 9 of Robson's classification were the largest contributors to the overall cesarean section (CS) rate and accounted for 30% of the total CS rate.
