Description
Kaire Sildver and co-authors compare operative deliveries in Estonia and Finland from 1992 to 2016 in a 2024 registry study. Normal delivery shares are falling worldwide. Operative vaginal delivery and caesarean section are the two surgical routes. The team tracked their trends plus background factors in both countries over twenty five years, using national birth registries with millions of births.
By 2016 one in four deliveries was operative in each country. Estonia saw its caesarean rate triple and its vaginal operative rate rise ninefold, while Finland saw smaller rises from a higher vaginal base. Anesthesia use and birth weight raised vaginal operative risk in both, and mother age raised caesarean risk.
