- Objective: To evaluate appropriateness of cesarean delivery and cesarean delivery‐related morbidity among maternal near misses (MNMs) using the Robson ten‐group classification system.Methods: In the present audit study, medical records were assessed for women who experienced MNM and underwent cesarean delivery at three university hospitals in Tehran, Iran, between March 1, 2012, and May 1, 2014. Local auditors assessed cesarean delivery indications and morbidity experienced. All records were re‐assessed using Swedish obstetric guidelines. Findings were reported using the Robson ten‐group classification system. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.Results: Of the 61 women included, cesarean deliveries were more likely to be considered appropriate by local auditors compared with Swedish ones (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.3–5.7). Cesarean delivery‐related morbidity was attributed to near‐miss events for 10 (16%) MNMs and was found to have aggravated 25 (41%). Of 16 women classified as Robson group 1–4, cesarean delivery‐related MNM was identified in 15 (94%), compared with 13 (43%) of 30 women in group 10. Cesarean delivery with appropriate indication was associated with very low likelihood of cesarean delivery‐related MNM (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.1–0.6).Conclusion: Cesarean delivery in the absence of appropriate indication could be an unsafe delivery choice. Audits using the Robson classification system facilitate understanding inappropriate cesarean delivery and its impact on maternal health.
