[Associated Factors Of Cesarean Section In Workroom In Patients With Low Perinatal Risk "Case Of The Bonzola Reference General Hospital"].

Background and objectives: Cesarean section is an increasingly common life-saving procedure in obstetrics. The objectives of this study were to identify the factors associated with the decision to perform a cesarean section in the labor room and to determine the therapeutic and obstetric practices that can increase the probability of giving birth by high way.

Methods: This was a case-control study conducted in the gynecology-obstetrics department of the General Hospital of Bonzola (HGR) in Mbujimayi from May 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021. The target population consisted of all low-risk parturients. The logistic regression model on epi-info 7.2.0 software was used to determine the predictive factors for the indication of caesarean section among parturients.

Results: Indications for cesarean section were dominated by stationary dilatation with 56.2% of cases and ARCF with16.7% of cases; an Apgar≤ 3 and a birth weight ≥ 4000g were retained as essential neonatal characteristics for cesarean section in labor. After multivariate analysis by logistic regression, a Bishop score < 6 with unfavorable cervix,dilatation < 3 cm on admission, and therapy done with oxytocin, artificial rupture of membranes, and G10% during labor were identified as risk factors for cesarean section in labor.

Conclusion: Certain factors predict the risk of cesarean section in parturients at low obstetrical risk. Knowledge of these risk factors may allow practitioners to prevent it or to better prepare patients for this procedure.
