Abstract

Objective: To study the occurrence and identify trends in the distribution of cesarean sections in the state of Santa Catarina according to Robson's classification groups between 2014 and 2019. Methods: A cross-sectional study that included all microdata records of deliveries and births from the Live Birth Information System of the Brazilian Ministry of Health during the period. Temporal trend analyses of cesarean section occurrence were performed for each of the 10 Robson groups, including their respective rates and contributions. Additionally, their distribution among the seven health macro-regions of the state was analyzed. Results: The overall cesarean section rate was 58.3% (95% CI: 58.1; 58.4), ranging from 60.5% in 2014 to 57.4% in 2019. The macro-region of Greater West stood out with the highest overall cesarean section rate (67.9%). Group 5 (women with a previous cesarean section) and group 2 (nulliparous women with elective cesarean section) had the highest individual rates and contributions to the overall cesarean section rate. While group 5 showed an upward trend, group 2 reduced its contribution to the overall cesarean section rate during the period. Conclusion: A slight reduction in the occurrence of cesarean sections was observed over the years. Women in groups 2 and 5 represent the main target groups for interventions aimed at reducing unnecessary cesarean sections in the state.
