Caesarean Delivery, USA, 2005 (4/07)

Percentage of All Live Births by Caesarean Delivery.

Preliminary data for 2005 indicate that 30.2% of all live births in the United States were caesarean deliveries, marking the highest U.S. total cesarean rate ever reported.

Since 1996, the total caesarean rate has increased by 46%, driven by both an increase in the percentage of all women having a first caesarean and a decline in the percentage of women delivering vaginally after a previous caesarean.

Caesarean rates vary considerably among states but tend to be lower in the western mountain states and upper Midwest region and higher in the Southeast and East regions.
