This is one of the main concerns of society, especially in obstetrics and gynecology fields. The overall goal of this research is to determine and compare the outcomes of cesarean and vaginal delivery for mothers and infants in selected hospitals in Tehran in 2009. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective population-based cohort study of 246 pregnant women who delivered in Tehran hospitals. 114 healthy women undergoing a cesarean section and their infants henceforth known as the “cesarean group” were considered for the comparison with an otherwise similar group of 132 women delivering vaginally. The data were collected in three stages (at childbirth, before discharge and 10 days after birth) and analyzed through SPSS Software V.16 at 0.05 level of significance. Results: There was no significant correlation between early postpartum hemorrhage, PPH leading to an intervention and treatment after 10 days of postpartum, infection and postpartum urinary retention, infection leading to treatment, readmission within 10 days after delivery and postpartum blouse syndrome. In contrast, there was a significant relation between the decrease of more than 10% of hematocrit before and after delivery and type of delivery (p %> http://imtj.gmu.ac.ir/article-1-844-en.pdf %P 5-11 %& 5 %!
