- The study aimed to evaluate how a quality improvement intervention affected birth methods in first-time mothers with single, head-down babies.
- The comparison of data from two different time periods showed a significant drop in cesarean section rates from 30.89% to 13.31% after the intervention, along with decreases in both elective and emergency cesarean sections.
- The findings suggest that with targeted strategies and stakeholder engagement, it's possible to lower cesarean rates without compromising fetal health outcomes.
