Article Synopsis
- About 52.5% of the 253 women studied at a Tanzanian hospital underwent repeated caesarean sections (RCS), highlighting a significant occurrence of this surgical delivery method in the region.
- The study found a 56.5% overall complication rate, which was notably higher (67.1%) for women having RCS compared to first-time CS deliveries (32.9%).
- Sepsis was the only complication independently linked to RCS deliveries, with a high adjusted odds ratio (aOR=11.3), prompting calls for healthcare providers to implement preventive strategies to reduce unnecessary primary CS.
