Severe maternal morbidity is an appropriate measure of safely ONLY when death rate is zero or nearly zero.

Is that by definition maternal morbidity?

For parous women the rate of severe acute maternal morbidity for planned home versus planned hospital birth was 1.0 versus 2.3 per 1000 births (0.43, 0.29 to 0.63 and 58.3 %, 33.2 % to 87.5 %), the rate of postpartum haemorrhage was 19.6 versus 37.6 (0.50, 0.46 to 0.55 and 47.9 %, 41.2 % to 54.7 %), and the rate of manual removal of placenta was 8.5 versus 19.6 (0.41, 0.36 to 0.47 and 56.9 %, 47.9 % to 66.3 %).

The adjusted odds of the secondary maternal outcomes — namely, maternal morbidity avoided and «normal birth» — were significantly increased for planned births in all three non-obstetric unit settings compared with those planned in obstetric units.

Main outcome measures Incremental cost per adverse perinatal outcome avoided, adverse maternal morbidity avoided, and additional normal birth.

When we analysed the effects of planned place of birth on maternal outcomes, all shifts to non-obstetric unit settings were associated with significant cost savings and significant improvements in terms of maternal morbidity avoided (table 5 ⇓) or additional normal birth (table 6 ⇓).

Cost effectiveness was expressed as incremental cost per adverse perinatal outcome avoided, per maternal morbidity avoided, and per additional «normal birth.»

The mean net monetary benefit associated with shifts to non-obstetric unit settings varied from # 2486 (# 2259 to # 2692)(alongside midwifery units) to # 4498 (# 4306 to # 4669)(home) at a # 20000 cost effectiveness threshold for avoiding a maternal morbidity (table 5 ⇓), and from # 3828 (# 3600 to # 4052)(alongside midwifery units) to # 6609 (# 6411 to # 6810)(home) at a # 20000 cost effectiveness threshold for achieving an additional normal birth (table 6 ⇓).
