The prevalence of noncaesarean section uterine surgical scars in a general obstetric population was 3.0 of 1000 deliveries and among nulliparae 3.4 of 1000 deliveries, calculated from population data of all delivery records in N ew S outh W ales from 2005 to 2011. As the population prevalence is low, women with a noncaesarean section uterine surgical scar are unlikely to impact the analyses of factors associated with caesarean section.
