In a recently published review article from Lund University in the European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, researchers have analyzed the incidence of cesarean sections in different European countries.

The cesarean section rate varied from around 17% in northern Europe to more than 50% in southern Europe.
