Objective: To understand why caesarean sections are performed for stillborn babies by investigating caesarean section rates and indications in sub-Saharan African countries and to examine whether fetal vital status at admission is associated with caesarean section.
Methods: The study involved registry data on 105 872 babies weighing 1000 g or more born to women aged 13 to 50 years at 16 hospitals in Benin, Malawi, Uganda and United Republic of Tanzania between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2023. We assessed caesarean section rates and indications, and used multivariable logistic regression analyses to estimate associations between fetal heartbeat at admission and caesarean section, by birth outcome.
