Prediction of unplanned cesarean section using measurable maternal and fetal characteristics, Ethiopia, a retrospective cohort study
© 2024. The Author(s)..
BACKGROUND: When a pregnant woman experiences unusual circumstances during a vaginal delivery, an unplanned cesarean section may be necessary to save her life. It requires knowledge and quick assessment of the risky situation to decide to perform an unplanned cesarean section, which only occurs in specific obstetric situations. This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for unplanned cesarean sections among laboring women in Ethiopia.
METHOD: A retrospective follow-up study was conducted. The data were extracted using a structured checklist. Analysis was done using STATA version 14 and R version 4.2.2 software. Logistic regression was fitted to determine predictors of unplanned cesarean sections. Significant variables were then used to develop a risk prediction model. Performance was assessed using Area Under the Receiver Operating Curve (AUROC) and calibration plot. Internal validation was performed using the bootstrap technique. The clinical benefit of the model was assessed using decision curve analysis.
RESULT: A total of 1,000 laboring women participated in this study; 28.5% were delivered by unplanned cesarean section. Parity, amniotic fluid status, gestational age, prolonged labor, the onset of labor, amount of amniotic fluid, previous mode of delivery, and abruption remained in the reduced multivariable logistic regression and were used to develop a prediction risk score with a total score of 9. The AUROC was 0.82. The optimal cut-off point for risk categorization as low and high was 6, with a sensitivity (85.2%), specificity (90.1%), and accuracy (73.9%). After internal validation, the optimism coefficient was 0.0089. The model was found to have clinical benefits.
CONCLUSION: To objectively measure the risk of an unplanned Caesarean section, a risk score model based on measurable maternal and fetal attributes has been developed. The score is simple, easy to use, and repeatable in clinical practice.
