The purpose of a delivery is to have a healthy baby at the appropriate time.<br/><br/>The application of cesarean section rates as score-keeping is inappropriate. Each patient is unique. No one gets 25% of a cesarean section nor 75% of a vaginal delivery. <br/><br/>I couldn't tell you what my cesarean section rate is and I refuse to care. I stopped keeping track 8 years ago. I have seen practitioners delay appropriate operative delivery because of pressure that their cesarean section rate for a given period of time was getting too high. It's equivalent to a pediatrician delaying or refusing to evaluate possible meningitis because she's performed too many spinal taps this year. Flawed thinking.
