Abstract

The global incidence of cesarean section deliveries is rising and is anticipated to persist in its upward trend. The prevalence of cesarean section has risen from approximately 7% in 1990 to 21.1% in recent years, according to the National Institutes of Health. The World Health Organization recommend a cesarean section rate between 10% and 15%. Moreover, women with a history of cesarean section could have several long-term complications, such as bleeding disorders, pelvic pain, subfertility, and placenta accreta spectrum in a subsequent pregnancy. Pregnant women aiming to proceed with vaginal birth after cesarean section are faced with another major concern of uterine rupture and dehiscence, and this concern leads to increasing numbers of repeat cesarean section in Germany (30%). The aim of these studies was to examine the influence of various financial strategies on the cost management of cesarean deliveries within health coverage schemes. Moreover, we aimed to access the characteristic of sonographic lower uterine segment after cesarean section and to analyze the association of the sonographic measures with successful vaginal birth after cesarean section.
