Operative delivery rates, 1955 to 1999 - 2000, in England and Wales.
In a randomised controlled trial comparing community based care with standard hospital care a significant difference in caesarean section rates was found (13.3 % v 17.8 % respectively).29 Planning a home birth30 or booking for care at a midwife led birth centre is also associated with lower
operative delivery rates.

Nurse - midwives demonstrated with a high grade level of evidence a lower
rate of cesarean sections, lower apgar scores, lower labor augmentation, lower episotomy
rates, equivalent low birthrates, lower vaginal
operative deliveries, less use of labor analgesia and epidurals, and lower
rates of third - and fourth - degree perineal lacerations.
With a transfer
rate of 30 — 40 % the women she transfers don't necessarily have any kind of

There were no differences between groups in parity, incidence of diabetes,

rate of perineal wound complications than patients who received placebo.ClinicalTrials.gov, www.clincaltrials.gov, NCT00186082.I.
Planned out - of - hospital birth also had a statistically significant association with higher
rates for 5 - minute Apgar scores of less than 7, neonatal seizures, neonatal ventilator support, maternal blood transfusion, and unassisted vaginal

«There have been no randomized trials of the total package of active management or of the use of strict diagnostic criteria alone, but trials of early amniotomy, early oxytocin, and these interventions combined do not suggest that these interventions are effective in reducing
rates of cesarean sections or
operative vaginal
deliveries.
