Conclusion

This study investigated the associates of CS deliveries in Indonesia. It is observed that mother’s age at childbirth, parity, complications during pregnancy, the number of PNC visits, and delivery in a private health facility were significantly and positively associated with the probability of CS delivery. Women with a history of CS have a substantially higher probability of undergoing another CS. Moreover, it is also found years of schooling of women was associated with higher likelihood of CS delivery. Furthermore, having private health insurance cover compared to none, and being in a higher wealth index quintile were found to be positively associated with the probability of CS delivery. These findings are coherent with that of existing literature and thus enrich the existing knowledge of the factors associated with CS delivery in Indonesia. Nevertheless, further studies that update the trend of CS deliveries and its determinants in Indonesia are recommended.
