The information presented is essential to inform policy and global and regional strategies aimed at optimizing the use of CS. The use of CS worldwide has increased to unprecedented levels although the gap between higher- and lower-resource settings remains. Asia and Northern America were the regions with the highest and lowest average annual rate of increase (6.4% and 1.6%, respectively). Based on the data from 121 countries, the trend analysis showed that between 19, the global average CS rate increased 12.4% (from 6.7% to 19.1%) with an average annual rate of increase of 4.4%. Latin America and the Caribbean region has the highest CS rates (40.5%), followed by Northern America (32.3%), Oceania (31.1%), Europe (25%), Asia (19.2%) and Africa (7.3%). We conducted a longitudinal analysis calculating differences in CS rates as absolute change and as the average annual rate of increase (AARI).ДЄccording to the latest data from 150 countries, currently 18.6% of all births occur by CS, ranging from 6% to 27.2% in the least and most developed regions, respectively.

We collected nationally-representative data on CS rates between 1990 to 2014 and calculated regional and subregional weighted averages. We present the latest CS rates and trends over the last 24 years. Caesarean section (CS) rates continue to evoke worldwide concern because of their steady increase, lack of consensus on the appropriate CS rate and the associated additional short- and long-term risks and costs.
