To evaluate the relationship between national cesarean delivery rates and maternal and neonatal mortality outcomes across member states of the World Health Organization.
Cross-national comparative analysis examining national cesarean delivery rates per 100 live births and corresponding mortality outcomes among WHO member states.
Cesarean delivery rates up to approximately 19 per 100 live births are associated with lower maternal or neonatal mortality.
Threshold findings indicate that historical international target rates for cesarean deliveries are likely set too low to optimize maternal and neonatal survival.

Implication

Ecological study reveals lower maternal and neonatal mortality at cesarean rates up to 19 per 100 births across WHO member states, indicating previous national targets are too low.
