Health indicator : caesarean delivery rates

Description

Caesarean section delivery rates are available from the IHDA in three ways for the years 2003 to 2022 for Alberta by mother’s age (00to19, 20to24, 25to29, 30to34, 35to39, 40+) and delivery type (primary, repeat, and all deliveries). The cesarean section delivery rate is calculated by dividing the number of caesarean hospital deliveries in a year by the total number of hospital deliveries in a year.
