متن کاملWhy 'down under' is a cut above: a comparison of rates of and reasons for caesarean section in England and Australia
BACKGROUND Most studies examining determinants of rising rates of caesarean section have examined patterns in documented reasons for caesarean over time in a single location. Further insights could be gleaned from cross-cultural research that examines practice patterns in locations with disparate rates of caesarean section at a single time point. METHODS We compared both rates of and main rea...
