This study aimed to identify emerging obstetric and pregnancy risk factors and maternal outcomes associated with caesarean section (CS) delivery among women in Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. The study found that having a CS increases the risk of maternal complications like an obstetric fistula or postpartum anaemia. Considering these results, it is recommended to urgently introduce carefully evaluated clinical practices to assess if vaginal delivery is possible. Counselling women about the delivery method is important to decrease unnecessary CS in Bangladesh.
