Exclusions will include patients whose birth outcome was an abortion or stillbirth (defined as a fetus weighing more than 500g with no evidence of life after birth) and patients with incomplete information in the database. The data will be analyzed through binomial logistic regression to identify factors associated with vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean section.Expected Results: The aim is to identify the sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics related to the occurrence of vaginal delivery in women with a prior cesarean section in the year 2024.
