dc.description.abstract | Background: Vaginal delivery after previous one cesarean section for a non recurring indication has been described by several authors as safe and having a success rate of 60–80%. Planned VBAC is appropriate for and may be offered to the majority of women with a singleton pregnancy of cephalic presentation at 37 weeks or beyond who have had a single previous lower segment caesarean delivery, with or without a history of previous vaginal birth. Labor should be conducted in a centre with suitable expertise and recourse to immediate surgical delivery. Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess factors associated with successful VBAC and its outcome in Asella Referral and Teaching Hospitals. Methods: An institutional based case-control study was conducted in Asella Referral and Teaching Hospital in a two years period. The data was collected from patients’ charts after tracing a patient’s number and a double proportion sampling technique was used to determine sample size of 288 using EPIinfo version 3.5.4. Sample size was determined using unmatched case control. Result: Two hundred eighty-eight mothers with history of one previous cesarean delivery attempted vaginal birth after cesarean section. We found between successful vaginal birth after cesarean section and previous vaginal birth, prior successful vaginal delivery after cesarean section, presented with cervical dilatation more than or equal to 4 cm and intact membrane at admission (P<0.0001). Whereas, factors like meconium > grade I and duration of labor >481minute and weights did not affect vaginal birth after cesarean section outcome. Conclusion and Recommendation: Careful selection of patients is the corner stone for successful vaginal birth after cesarean section with special consideration of gestational age and condition of membrane, and develop national evidence-based clinical practice guidelines is crucial. | en_US |
