Abstract (English)  :

More than 1 in 5 Canadian babies are now arriving via cesarean section — an
all-time high — and fewer family doctors are attending births, says a new report
by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).

In 2001–02, 22.5% of babies delivered in hospital were born by cesarean section,
up from 15% in 1979–80, says Giving Birth in Canada: Providers of Maternity and
Infant Care. Although the report does not explain the increase, it points out that
more women aged 30 and over are having babies, fertility drugs are producing more
multiple births, and high-risk pregnancies now comprise 10% of all deliveries.

In the early 1980s, health-care providers encouraged mothers who had delivered one
child by cesarean section to try for a vaginal birth in subsequent pregnancies,
says Kira Leeb, manager of health reports for the CIHI. "What we see [now] is
almost a direct correlation between a decrease in the rate of vaginal births after C-sections and an increase in C-sections."

At the same time, fewer family physicians are providing obstetrical services —
just 16% in 2001, compared with 31% in 1989, according to billing data from
provincial health insurance plans. Those family doctors who do attend deliveries
are not doing the honours for cesareans and multiple births, the report indicates.
Only 5% of family physicians delivered babies via cesarean section in 2000, down
from 7% in 1996; just 3% of multiple births were attended by family doctors in
2002, down from 6% in 1994. When surveyed about why they aren’t delivering more
babies, family physicians cite concerns about lifestyle, malpractice and the skill
level required.

Obstetricians are filling the gap, attending 95% of all cesarean sections in 2002,
96% of all multiple births and 61% of vaginal births. The numbers come as no
surprise to the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada, which says
the decline in the number of family physicians performing deliveries is
contributing to an "obstetrical crisis." Over the next 5 years, more than
one-third of obstetricians and gynaecologists in Canada plan to retire, the
society says, suggesting an imminent shortage of these specialists.
