Classification of caesarean sections
Abstract
Caesarean section rates in the United Kingdom continue to be a topic of importance in both the medical and lay press. In previous years most of the discussion has been about what the correct caesarean section rate should be. More recently the debate has focused on whether a woman has the right to choose to have her baby delivered by caesarean section in the absence of a medical indication. This has medical implications, in terms of short and long term complications for the woman, but also carries a financial burden that the National Health Service can ill afford.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
