The primary outcome was a composite of perinatal mortality and specific neonatal morbidities: stillbirth after the start of care in labour, early neonatal death, neonatal encephalopathy, meconium aspiration syndrome, brachial plexus injury,
fractured humerus, and fractured clavicle.13 This composite measure was designed to capture outcomes that may be related to the quality of intrapartum care, including morbidities associated with intrapartum asphyxia and birth trauma.
Main outcome measure A composite primary outcome of perinatal mortality and intrapartum related neonatal morbidities (stillbirth after start of care in labour, early neonatal death, neonatal encephalopathy, meconium aspiration syndrome, brachial plexus injury,
fractured humerus, or fractured clavicle) was used to compare outcomes by planned place of birth at the start of care in labour (at home, freestanding midwifery units, alongside midwifery units, and obstetric units).
Intrapartum stillbirths and early neonatal deaths accounted for 13 % of events, neonatal encephalopathy for 46 %, meconium aspiration syndrome for 30 %, brachial plexus injury for 8 %, and
fractured humerus or clavicle for 4 % (see appendix 8 on bmj.com for distributions by planned place of birth).
The authors chose to evaluate the results by creating an index of primary events comprising intrapartum stillbirths, early neonatal deaths, neonatal encephalopathy [brain damage] meconium aspiration syndrome, brachial plexus injury, and
fractured humerus or clavicle.
