Estimating the Mode of Delivery Through Cause Analysis

Abstract

In developing countries, many health workers force pregnant women in private hospitals having baby through cesarean delivery, even though most pregnant mothers are skeptical about the risk of going under such operations. Doctors often encourage pregnant mothers to have a cesarean on the basis of their physical condition and medical reports. Emergency cesarean patient cannot be prepared in advance but on real time, If a system can be developed that can forecast whether a woman need natural or cesarean delivery, then rate of the risk of the pregnant women get reduce. To design such system, we need to know what factors influences the doctors to choose cesarean over normal delivery. We have conducted a systematic review in well-known databases to understand the various factors of pregnant mothers. A total of 19 studies were selected among 2512 studies based on the relevancy to the research objective. The objective of this study is to predict the mode of delivery based on 10 specific parameters identified separately from 180 parameters present in various test reports.
