Factores asociados al parto por cesárea y su relación con el comportamiento de los nacidos vivos en Colombia 2008-2017

Objective: The present research aims to estimate the risk factors associated with cesarean section in Colombia during the period 2008 - 2017. Materials and methods: The microdata of the DANE's vital statistics were used for the years between 2008 and 2017. Contingency tables were calculated to establish the existence of relationships between risk variables and cesarean section. Likewise, a probabilistic model was developed to establish the factors associated with a higher probability of evidencing a cesarean section in delivery care. Results: In Colombia, the cesarean rate has increased dramatically in the last decade. For 2008, the rate of cesarean section in the country was 35% while for 2017 the observed rate was 43%. The Caribbean region presents a significant difference in the evolution of the cesarean rate compared to the behavior of the country. The variables multiplicity of childbirth, weight at birth, the fact that the mother is primigestant and the marital status of married have an important association with the probability of showing a caesarean section in the delivery care. These factors should be used to effectively detect the high risk of the pregnant woman and concentrate in them, a greater vigilance during the prenatal control. The Caribbean region has a different behavior to the rest of the country, so it is important to deepen the determination of the explanatory factors of this difference.
