Abstract: Doctors in private or group practice may have different reasons for performing a cesarean delivery than doctors who work in a hospital. In a study of 119 cesarean deliveries performed at one hospital, the strength of the indication for a cesarean delivery was stronger among women delivered by a hospital-based doctor.
