A total of 7077 cases of delivery were studied in a rural based hospital where most of the mothers come without any antenatal care, from November, 1979 to December, 1980 to observe the mortality pattern in different types of delivery. Only live born babies were included in the study in which the mortality rate in elective cesarean section was found to be nearly equal to that in vaginal delivery. The percentage of mortality was higher (5.4%) in emergency cesarean section-the chief causes being asphyxia neonatorum, low gestational age and low birth weight.
1979年11月至1980年12月期间，在一家农村医院对总共7077例分娩病例进行了研究，该医院的大多数产妇未接受任何产前护理，以观察不同分娩类型的死亡率模式。该研究仅纳入活产婴儿，发现选择性剖宫产的死亡率与阴道分娩的死亡率几乎相等。急诊剖宫产的死亡率较高（5.4%），主要原因是新生儿窒息、孕周小和出生体重低。
