Mode of delivery and subsequent reproductive patterns. A national follow-up study.
To investigate associations between mode of delivery and subsequent reproductive outcomes. ⋯ Fecundity, measured as likelihood of a successive live-born child, varied with mode of delivery at the first and also subsequent births. A first or later delivery by cesarean section implied decreased likelihood of subsequent delivery compared with women with a first vaginal birth.

Non-medical determinants of cesarean section in a medically dominated maternity system.
To assess the contribution of non-medical factors to actual mode of delivery in a setting with high cesarean rates. ⋯ The results of this questionnaire survey contribute to the already existing evidence that against the background of high cesarean rates, non-medical factors, as much related to the obstetricians as to pregnant women's attitudes, play an important role.

Multicenter StudyRacial disparities in outcomes of twin pregnancies: elective cesarean or trial of labor?
The objective of the study was to determine the relationships between maternal race and obstetric outcomes in twin gestations by planned mode of delivery. ⋯ Unplanned cesarean delivery rates are similar in twin pregnancies, regardless of race. Maternal and neonatal outcomes in twin gestations are similar across ethnicities, regardless of mode of delivery.
