Cesarean sections at the Beth Israel Hospital, 1950-1953.

ON March 1, 1953, the Obstetrical Service of the Beth Israel Hospital had been in operation for three years. It was thought that sufficient cases had been accumulated to be statistically significant and to warrant critical analysis. With this purpose in mind, the present study of cesarean sections performed during this period was undertaken. Because some of the results are of interest, publication of the findings seems warranted. Material In the period from March 1, 1950, to March 1, 1953, there was a total of 5871 deliveries producing 5950 infants. Seven hundred and eighty-nine were ward, and 5082 were private . . .
