Istiqomah Risa Wahyuningsih, Yuyun Triani

Abstract

The increase in the number of cesarean sections in all parts of the world is a concern for WHO. The WHO (World Health Organization) warns that cesarean section rates should not be higher than 10-15% in any region of the world. The objectives of this study are to describe the growth of research, the most prolific authors, the country with the most publications, the institution with the most publications, the type of publication and the most journals related to cesarean section complications. The documents from 2019 to 2024 (April 23, 2024) were searched, in English, Review and Article. The implementation date of the strategy was April 23, 2024. Visualization and analysis of research trends from downloaded article data in CSV format using VOS viewer 1.6.19. Bibliometric analysis was conducted on 422 articles obtained from the Scopus database, the most research growth in 2021; Thakar, R contributed the most research; The most published country is from the United States, the institution with the most publications is Karolinska institute, the most type of publication is articles (91.7%), and the most published journal from BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth. The trend of research on cesarean section complications decreased from 2021 to the present. Research opportunities related to cesarean section complications are still needed, especially those related to the pregnancy complication, delivery complication, postpartum, and pregnancy outcome are trends and opportunities for future research.
