The '''Robson classification''', also known as the '''10-groups classification''' or '''ten groups classification system''' ('''TGCS'''), is a system for classifying [[pregnant]] women who undergo [[childbirth]]. It was developed to allow more accurate comparison of [[caesarean section]] rates between different settings, whether they be individual hospitals or entire regions or countries. Endorsed by the [[World Health Organization]] in 2015, it differs from other classification systems in that it accounts for all women who undergo delivery, and not just those who proceed to cesarean section.<ref name="pmid26278843">{{cite journal| author=World Health Organization Human Reproduction Programme, 10 April 2015| title=WHO Statement on caesarean section rates. | journal=Reprod Health Matters | year= 2015 | volume= 23 | issue= 45 | pages= 149–50 | pmid=26278843 | doi=10.1016/j.rhm.2015.07.007 | s2cid=40829330
The ten mutually-exclusive groups were first described by the [[obstetrician]] Michael Robson in 2001, and are defined based on the category of the pregnancy, the woman's previous obstetric record, the course of the labour and delivery, and the [[Gestational age (obstetrics)|gestational age]] at delivery.<ref name="robson2001">{{cite journal| author=Robson, M| title=Classification of caesarean sections | journal=Fetal and Maternal Medicine Review | year= 2001 | volume= 12 | issue=1 | pages= 23–39 | doi=10.1017/S0965539501000122 | url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/fetal-and-maternal-medicine-review/article/classification-of-caesarean-sections/1489F66B41725CF7719525EC11655D4C | url-access=subscription }} </ref>
