Table 7 Robson's 10 - group classification of hospital with lowest c - section rate (A) and hospital with highest c - section rate (B) in Flanders (2000 and 2008)

From: Limiting the caesarean section rate in low risk pregnancies is key to lowering the trend of increased abdominal deliveries: an observational study

  

Hospital A: lowest c - section rate (2000 - 2008)

Hospital B: highest c - section rate (2000 - 2008)

Δ Caesarean sections (%)

(hospital highest rate - hospital lowest rate)

Δ contribution per group (hospital highest rate - hospital lowest rate)
