Implementation of effective measures to reduce the cesarean rate requires proper analysis and classification. Robeson&#39;s classification can be useful in identifying the groups that play the most important role in the cesarean section rate. The present study was conducted to analyze the rate of cesarean section based on Robson&#39;s system in hospitals affiliated with Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><span cambria="" style="font-family:"><span style="color:#1f497d">Instrument & Methods</span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><span cambria="" style="font-family:">: This multi-center cross-sectional study, in 2019, examined 950 pregnant women admitted for delivery or cesarean section in two teaching hospitals affiliated with Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Iran, using a convenient sampling method.
