  • Implementation of a decision aid to promote shared decision-making on mode of birth in low-risk pregnant women

    Open AccessTruc Phuong Nguyen, Ana Pilar Betran et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Implementing shared decision-making (SDM) in maternity care remains challenging in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Decision aids can support SDM, but evidence on their effectiveness in such settings is limited. We assessed the impact of a decision analysis tool (DAT) for pregnant women on mode of birth (MOB) within the QUALIty DECision-making project, a multisite, multicountry pragmatic trial to reduce unnecessary ca…

  • Impact of midwifery-led units in Spain

    Open AccessRoser Palau-Costafreda, Lluna Orus-Covisa et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2025

    BACKGROUND: There has been a growing concern over rising medical interventions during childbirth, particularly caesarean sections, without corresponding improvements in maternal or neonatal outcomes. Midwifery-led units (MLUs) offer a model that promotes physiological birth while reducing unnecessary interventions. In Spain, where maternity care is predominantly hospital-based and obstetrician-led, the first public MLU opened in Catalonia in 2017…

  • Implementing the Quali-DEC project in Argentina, Burkina Faso, Thailand and Viet Nam

    Open AccessAmanda Cleeve, Kristi Sidney Annerstedt et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2023

    The project ‘Quality Decision-making by women and providers’ (QUALI-DEC) combines four non-clinical interventions to promote informed decision-making surrounding mode of birth, improve women’s birth experiences, and reduce caesarean sections among low-risk women. QUALI-DEC is currently being implemented in 32 healthcare facilities across Argentina, Burkina Faso, Thailand, and Viet Nam. In this paper, we detail implementation processes and the pla…

  • Obstetric–Neonatal Care during Birth and Postpartum in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Women Infected with Sars-CoV-2

    Open AccessRafael Vila‐Candel, Víctor M González‐Chordá et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    This study analyses the obstetric−neonatal outcomes of women in labour with symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19. A retrospective, multicenter, observational study was carried out between 1 March 2020 and 28 February 2021 in eight public hospitals in the Valencian community (Spain). The chi-squared test compared the obstetric−neonatal outcomes and general care for symptomatic and asymptomatic women. In total, 11,883 births were assisted in parti…

  • Oxytocin Administration in Low-Risk Women, a Retrospective Analysis of Birth and Neonatal Outcomes

    Open AccessXavier Espada-Trespalacios, Felipe Ojeda et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Oxytocin administration during labor for low-risk women may lead to worse birth outcomes with an increased risk of instrumental birth and cesarean, episiotomy and the use of epidural analgesia for pain relief. Neonatal results may be also worse with an increased proportion of neonates displaying an umbilical arterial pH ≤ 7.20

  • Transfers of Care between Healthcare Professionals in Obstetric Units of Different Sizes across Spain and in a Hospital in Ireland

    Open AccessAnna Martín-Arribas, Rafael Vila‐Candel et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    A prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional study promoted by the COST Action IS1405 was carried out at eight public hospitals in Spain and Ireland between 2016-2019. The primary outcome was TOC. The secondary outcomes included type of onset of labour, oxytocin stimulation, epidural analgesia, type of birth, episiotomy/perineal injury, postpartum haemorrhage, early initiation of breastfeeding and early skin-to-skin contact. A logistic regression …

  • Analysis of Caesarean Section Rates Using the Robson Classification System at a University Hospital in Spain

    Open AccessRafael Vila‐Candel, Anna Martin et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    16,506 women gave birth during the study period, 19% of them by CS. Overall, 20.4% of women were in group 1 (nulliparous, singleton cephalic, term, spontaneous labor), 29.4% in group 2 (nulliparous, singleton cephalic, term, induced labor or caesarean before labor), and 12.8% in group 4 (multiparous, singleton cephalic, term, induced or caesarean delivery before labor) made the most significant contributions to the overall rate of CS; Conclusions…

  • Relation between Length of Exposure to Epidural Analgesia during Labour and Birth Mode

    Open AccessLaura García-Lausin, Mercedes Pérez-Botella et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    The length of exposure to epidural analgesia during labour is associated with non-spontaneous births in our study. It highlights the need for practice change through the development of clinical guidelines, training programs for professionals and the continuity of midwifery care in order to support women to cope with labour pain using less invasive forms of analgesia. Women also need to be provided with evidence-based information
