OBJECTIVE: To determine whether @entity28 is an independent risk factor for cesarean delivery in Martinique. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed using data for deliveries that occurred at the University Hospital of Fort de France between January and September 2010. @entity1 were divided into four groups on the basis of body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters; <25 [group 1], 25-29 [group 2], 30-39 [group 3], and >= 40 [group 4]). Independent risk factors for cesarean delivery were identified through multivariate analysis. RESULTS: Overall, 1286 @entity1 were included. Mean @entity1017 was lower in groups 2 (9.9kg, 95% CI 9.2-10.7), 3 (5.7kg, 4.7-6.7), and 4 (1.0kg,-1.5 to 3.5), than in group 1 (12.3kg, 11.9-12.7; P<0.001 for all). In univariate analysis, cesarean deliveries were more frequent among nulliparous @entity1 in group 2 (P=0.007) and group 3 (P=0.053) than among those in group 1. In multivariate analysis, BMI was not associated with cesarean delivery (BMI 25-29: adjusted odds ratio 0.64, 95% CI 0.33-1.25; BMI >= 30: 0.61, 0.29-1.39). CONCLUSION: Obesity was not an independent risk factor for cesarean delivery. Weight control and a positive attitude towards trial of labor in @entity28 @entity1 could have led to the findings.
