title: [Analysis of social factors of pregnant women's cesarean section demands].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the reasons of pregnant women's cesarean section demands.
  
  
  METHODS
  Matched case-control study and questionnaire investigation were conducted. We analyze the cesarean section indications of pregnant women admitted to the Second and Third affiliated Hospitals of Beijing Medical University. Each section caused by pregnant woman's demand was matched with one vaginal delivery according to matching criteria. Questionnaires were used to analyze social characteristics of the two groups of women and find the reasons of women's cesarean section demands.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Incorrect knowledge of delivery, fear of delivery pain, lack of vaginal delivery confidence and doctors' talk with pregnant women about risks of delivery have significantly different (P < 0.05) influences on the two groups. Those are the four important factors of women's cesarean section demands.
