Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed trends in instrumental vaginal delivery (IVD) and cesarean section (CS) rates at Lagos University Teaching Hospital from 2002 to 2017, using retrospective case records and statistical modeling.
- Findings showed a low IVD rate of 1.36% with a significant decline over the years, while the CS rate was much higher at 44.9 per 100 deliveries, increasing annually by about 3.7%.
- The research highlighted the need for improved training on IVD techniques to potentially lower the rising CS rates, as the most common reasons for IVD were related to prolonged labor.
