Abstract:In the past few decades, cesarean section rate has been increasing worldwide, the overuse of selective cesarean sec⁃ tion is one of the main reasons. It not only has a negative impact on maternal and fetal babies, but also brings a huge economic pres⁃ sure to the health care system. In recent years, China has taken a series of intervention measures to reduce the overall cesarean sec⁃ tion rate, but the proportion of selective cesarean section is still rising. WHO published a series of evidence-based recommendations for non-clinical interventions to reduce global cesarean section rates in 2018. Based on the proposal, the present situation, influenc⁃ ing factors and intervention measures of selective cesarean section are summarized in order to provide reference for promoting the clinical practice of natural delivery.
