Authors analysed indications and number of caesarean sections performed in the I-st Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Bytom in the years 1994-1998. In the analyse we considered place of living of pregnant women, dividing women on residents of Bytom and non-residents of Bytom. The results showed increasing number of caesarean sections.

Objectives: In this descriptive study, we aimed to assess how the index mode of birth and subsequent birth modes vary over time for public and private hospital maternity care funding models.
