The results of cluster analysis of maternal mortality after cesarean section in the USSR are reported. The statistical data were collected for the 1980-1986 period for USSR in total and for various regions. Region A included Baltic republics and Byelorussia; region B included Russia, Ukraine, Armenia and Moldavia; region C included Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia; and region D included Tadzhikistan and Turkmenia. In the USSR, cesarean section was performed in 1.6-3.1% of all pregnancies (2.4-4.6%, 1.8-3.7%, 0.9-1.9%, and 0.8- 1.5% in regions A, B, C and D, respectively). Mortality rate after cesarean section was 0.4-0.2% for the USSR (0.09-0.08%, 0.35-0.10%, 0.80-0.40%, and 1.60-0.50% for regions A, B, C and D, respectively). Indications for cesarean section included abruptio placentae (34.2%), late toxemia (22.9%), cicatrix in the uterus (8.7%), narrow pelvis (8.7%), anomaly of labor activity (8%), extragenital pathology (5.8%), placenta previa (5.1%), fetal distress (3.6%), and others (3%). Emergency cesarean section was performed in 90% of the patients (only 18% underwent emergency cesarean section within 1 hour after the diagnosis). The most frequent cause of death after cesarean section was hemorrhage (36.2%). The 2nd leading cause of death was late toxemia (17.5/%). Other causes of death included cerebral hemorrhage (8.1%), brain edema (9.8%), complications of anesthesia (9.5%), extragenital diseases (7.7%), and hypotonia of the uterus (5.6%).
