National Maternity data- Robson Ten Group Classification system (TGCS)

Designated data coordinators within all maternity units collate and submit data on Robson TGCS to the NPEC.

Purpose: The Robson Ten Group Classification System (TGCS) is a classification system by which all perinatal events and outcomes can be compared. The system classifies all pregnant women into one of ten groups, each of which are mutually exclusive and, as a set, comprehensive.

This system has been used extensively internationally to analyse caesarean deliveries. In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) endorsed the Robson TGCS as the global standard for assessing, monitoring, and comparing CS rates

Coverage: All 19 units collected data in 2020 for Robson TGCS.
