  1. Figures denote numbers and proportions.
  2. CS = Caesarean section; GA = gestational age at delivery; PPH = postpartum haemorrhage; VD = vaginal delivery.
  3. ¥ All CS independent of status of performance – acute or elective.
  4. *Epidural analgesia and perineal rupture in vaginal deliveries.
  5. Caesarean section was subdivided into elective and acute CS from 1999.
