Discussion

Implication

Variation in operative delivery rates should not change practice; cross-sectional data leave open effects on perinatal mortality.

Structured PICO

Population

Countries of the WHO European region

Outcome

Rates of operative delivery (caesarean section, forceps, vacuum extraction) and induction of labour

There is wide variation in the reported frequencies of obstetrical interventions across Europe, highlighting the need for standardized national or regional monitoring.

Limitations

Relatively few European countries have population-based statistical data on the frequencies of caesarean section, forceps delivery and vacuum extractions
National recording of induction of labour is unusual
