Variations in Pregnancy Outcomes and Use of Obstetric Procedures in Two Institutions With Divergent Philosophies of Maternity Care
Pregnancy outcomes were compared between a stratified random sample of 796 women delivering a live birth at a maternity center (BMC) and a frequency matched sample of 804 women delivering a live birth at a tertiary hospital (TJUH) in 1977-1978. The relationship of use of obstetric procedures with pregnancy outcomes was investigated within and between the two samples. The neonatal morbidity rate, as measured by Hobel's neonatal risk score, was sig…
