As compared to the previous study, the prevalence of emergency caesarean delivery was low. Women with a history of fistula, from rural residence, and age≥ 35 years were at risk for emergency caesarean delivery. Therefore, interventions need to be encouraged to give attention to rural women whose age is ≥ 35 years and fistula reduction activities, such as avoiding early marriage, to reverse the problem. Early and accurate screening of women for emergency cesarean delivery by encouraging co-services like ANC is also recommended.
