Applying the Modified Ten-Group Robson Classification in a Spanish Tertiary Hospital.

Background: Caesarean section is necessary to save the lives of mothers and newborns at times, but it is important to perform it only when it is essential due to all the risks involved. This study aimed to examine the rate of caesarean sections performed at a tertiary hospital using the Robson classification to detect methods for the detection of and/or reduction in these caesarean section rates.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study of a retrospective database was carried out.
