Abstract

Objective: The Robson Ten Group Classification System (RTCGS) is a structured method and good tool that has been used for monitoring CS rates. Present study was planned to determine frequency of Robson Ten Group Classification System among patients coming for CS.
Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi from June 2023 to December 2023. A total of nine hundred and forty five women with age between 18-35 years and gestational age >28 weeks admitted for both elective and emergency caesarean section were enrolled in the study.
Results: Our results showed that the group making the largest contribution to the CS rate (50.5%, n=477/945) was Robson group V (women with at least one previous CS and a term, singleton, cephalic-presenting pregnancy) followed by Robson group II (induced labor or Caesarean section before labor) (20.8%, n=197/945).

Conclusions: Robson group V (women who had one past CS and a term, singleton, cephalic-presenting pregnancy) was most frequent group in this study followed by Robson group II (induced labor or Caesarean section before labor)
