But yeah, if
hospital vs homebirth only had a 4 times greater chance of a c - section, traded for a 3 times greater chance of death and 18 times greater chance of
HIE, it is even more dramatic.
So even if we use a c - section rate of 35 %, that means that you are 7 times more likely to have a c - section if you are in a
hospital, but you trade that for a 3 times increase in baby death and an 18 times increase in
HIE.
The odds of
HIE for home versus
hospital birth was assessed via logistic regression.
After controlling for mode of delivery the odds of
HIE increased for home birth compared to
hospital birth (aOR 32.9, 95 % CI 3.52 - 307.45).
Maybe I'm wrong looking at the increased neonatal death rate in MANA's study, the increased risk of
HIE in January 2014 ACOG, the increased risk of Apgars of 0 at 5 minutes (Grunebaum 2014) at homebirth as compared to
hospital birth.

HIE helps emergency physicians — who usually do not have much information about their patients — access patient health information from multiple sources, which is essential for critical, time - sensitive decisions,» said co-author Jeffrey Nielson, MD, MS of Summa Akron City
Hospital in Akron, Ohio.
While the researchers couldn't tell specifically that doctors at the second emergency department had accessed the patient's records from the first ED, or that it impacted their decision - making if they did, the presence of an
HIE at both
hospitals means it would have been possible to do so.
The findings show that the use of repeat CT scans, chest X-rays and ultrasound scans was significantly lower when patients had both their emergency visits at two unaffiliated
hospitals that took part in an
HIE.
