Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of hospital obstetric volume on maternal outcomes in term, non–low-birthweight pregnancies
TL;DR: Few maternal outcomes differed by hospital obstetric volume, however, elevated odds of postpartum hemorrhage in low-volume rural hospitals raises the possibility that maternal outcomes may differ by hospital volume and geography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between Hospital-Level Percentage of Midwife-Attended Births and Obstetric Procedure Utilization.
TL;DR: The results indicate that hospitals with more midwife-attended births have lower utilization of some obstetric procedures among low-risk women; this raises the possibility of improving value in maternity care through greater access to midwifery care.

TL;DR: Low birth volume was a risk factor for PPH in both rural and urban non-teaching hospitals, but not in urban teaching hospitals, where higher volume was associated with greater odds of PPH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternity care access, quality, and outcomes: A systems-level perspective on research, clinical, and policy needs
TL;DR: The relationship between access and quality in maternity care is described and a systems-level perspective on the innovations and strategies needed in research, clinical care, and policy to improve equity in maternal and infant health is offered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake and Utilization of Practice Guidelines in Hospitals in the United States: the Case of Routine Episiotomy
TL;DR: Teaching status was a strong predictor of odds of episiotomy, with urban nonteaching hospitals having the highest rates of noncompliance with evidence-based practice and Issuance of clinical guidelines precipitated a narrowing of this discrepancy.

TL;DR: The reportedregnancy-related mortality ratio has substantially increased during 1991-1999, probably because of improved ascertainment of pregnancy-related deaths.

TL;DR: Enoxaparin combined with compressionStockings is more effective than compression stockings alone for the prevention of venous thromboembolism after elective neurosurgery and does not cause excessive bleeding.

TL;DR: This review provides guidance on the diagnosis and management of thromboembolic disease in pregnant women, including guidelines for the prophylactic use of anticoagulant agents in women at high risk during pregnancy and the puerperium.

Venous thromboembolism in pregnancy and the puerperium: incidence and additional risk factors from a London perinatal database
TL;DR: This study aims to determine the incidence of venous thromboembolism in pregnancy and the puerperium and to identify risk factors for pregnancy‐related venous dilation and thrombosis.

Elastic compression stockings for prevention of deep vein thrombosis
TL;DR: GCS are effective in diminishing the risk of DVT in hospitalised patients and data examination suggests that GCS on a background of another method of prophylaxis is more effective than G CS on its own.
