Elective Primary Cesarean Delivery
Abstract
Some women would prefer an elective cesarean delivery to labor. The authors of this Sounding Board article review the arguments for and against elective cesarean delivery. They conclude that the available data do not support the routine recommendation of this approach but that they do support a physician's acceding to a request for cesarean delivery made by an informed patient.

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.
