Hanson C, et al. - Researchers performed this population-based cross-sectional study of 34,063 women from 384,549 households who gave birth in the previous year in southern Tanzania, to determine how access to life-saving interventions has changed in a rural low-resource setting between 2007 and 2013. They described trends in cesarean section and neonatal mortality in obstetric risk groups inspired by the 10-group Robson classification, using data from two geo-referenced household surveys conducted in 2007 and 2013 in the context of two cluster-randomized controlled trials. Southern Tanzania displayed an increase in cesarean section rates over time, however, there remained alarmingly low rate in high-risk births.
