| Abstract |
To determine the cesarean section (CS) rate in Lithuania, identify the groups of women that influence it using the Robson classification and to determine the impact of implementing the use of the Robson classification on the CS rate. The Robson classification was introduced in Lithuanian hospitals prospectively classifying all the deliveries in 2012. The overall CS rate, sizes of the Robson groups of women, CS rate in each group and contribution to the overall CS rate from each group was calculated and the results were discussed. The analysis was repeated in 2014 and the data were compared using MS EXCEL and SPSS 23.0. Nineteen Lithuanian hospitals participated in the study. They represented 84.1% of the deliveries (23,742 out of 28,230) in 2012 and 88.5% of the deliveries (24,653 out of 27,872) in 2014. The CS rate decreased from 26.9% (6379/23,742) in 2012 to 22.7% (5605/24,653) in 2014 (p < 0.001). The greatest contributions to the overall CS rate were made by groups 1, 2 and 5. The greatest decrease in the CS rate was detected in group 2. The absolute contribution to the overall CS rate decreased from 4.9% to 3.8%. The Robson classification can work as an audit tool to identify the groups that have the greatest impact on the CS rate. It also helps to develop a strategy focussing on the reduction of the CS rate. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 January 2018.
All research outputs
#14,963,216
of 23,015,156 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
#2,882
of 4,238 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#254,275
of 440,645 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
#90
of 109 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,015,156 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,238 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,645 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 109 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
