Factors associated with successful vaginal birth in women with a cesarean section history

Abstract BAKCGROUND: Caesarean section is the main proceedings for ending of pregnancy in the world, and currently represents a public health problem. Some factors that benefit the likelihood of vaginal birth after a previous C-section have been described in literature, with scoring tools designed to predict success for trial of labor after a previous cesarean. There are few studies that identify predictors of success for vaginal delivery in Latin-American patients. To identify predictive factors associated to vaginal delivery success in patients with a prior cesarean delivery. Case-control study. We included patients with one previous cesarean delivery admitted at our hospital. The variables analyzed with a logistic regression system to predict vaginal delivery success probabilities. A total of 11 60 patients were included, 668 underwent C-section (considered control group), and 492 patients had a vaginal delivery (considered study group). The Factors associated to vaginal birth after cesarean delivery were maternal age (25.1±5.4 vs 24.7±5.5 years old, OR 0.967, p
