OBJECTIVES: To understand current attitudes and practice patterns of obstetrical care providers regarding trial of labour after cesarean (TOLAC) and to assess misconceptions regarding eligibility for and risks associated with TOLAC.
METHODS: A survey was developed based on published literature, validated by a statistician, and piloted with Canadian obstetricians. French and English versions were distributed via the mailing list of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada and social media. Practising obstetrical care providers with an office antenatal practice were eligible to participate. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlational and multiple regression analyses.
RESULTS: A total of 381 people responded, with representation from every Canadian province and territory. Obstetrician-gynaecologists (239, 63%), family physicians (100, 26%), and midwives (42, 11%) responded. Most participants (277, 78%) thought that TOLAC should be actively encouraged. Only 141 (40%) used a decision aid when counselling patients, although most respondents (250, 71%) thought it would be useful. Providers were less comfortable offering oxytocin induction compared with cervical foley or amniotomy (P < 0.001) and offering TOLAC to patients with an unknown uterine scar (P < 0.001). Providers in western Canada reported more comfort offering TOLAC to patients with more than 1 previous cesarean delivery compared with other regions. Two hundred nine participants (62%) reported that they had had at least 1 patient with a uterine rupture, with the minority of cases (13, 6%) resulting in litigation.
CONCLUSIONS: This study offers new information on current national practice patterns and provider attitudes regarding TOLAC. These results can be used to guide future educational initiatives to increase TOLAC rates.
