Objective To compare perinatal outcomes, maternal outcomes, and interventions in
labour by
planned place of birth at the start of care in
labour for women with low risk pregnancies.
All women attended by an NHS midwife during
labour in their
planned place of birth,
for any amount of time, were eligible
for inclusion with the exception of women who had an elective caesarean section or caesarean section before the onset of
labour, presented in preterm
labour (< 37 weeks» gestation), had a multiple pregnancy, or who were «unbooked» (that is, received no antenatal care).
The proportion of women with a «normal birth» (birth without induction of
labour, epidural or spinal analgesia, general anaesthesia, forceps or ventouse delivery, caesarean section, or episiotomy9 10) varied from 58 %
for planned obstetric unit births to 76 % in alongside midwifery units, 83 % in freestanding midwifery units, and 88 %
for planned home births; the adjusted odds of having a «normal birth» were significantly higher in all three non-obstetric unit settings (table 5 ⇓).
Adverse perinatal outcomes are uncommon in all settings, while interventions during
labour and birth are much less common
for births
planned in non-obstetric unit settings.
The strengths of the study include the ability to compare outcomes by the woman's
planned place of birth at the start of care in
labour, the high participation of midwifery units and trusts in England, the large sample size and statistical power to detect clinically important differences in adverse perinatal outcomes, the minimisation of selection bias through achievement of a high response rate and absence of self selection bias due to non-consent, the ability to compare groups that were similar in terms of identified clinical risk (according to current clinical guidelines) and to further increase the comparability of the groups by conducting an additional analysis restricted to women with no complicating conditions identified at the start of care in
labour, and the ability to control
for several important potential confounders.
The aim of our study was to determine firstly, whether a retrospective linked data study was a viable alternative to such a design using routinely collected data in one Australian state and secondly, to report on the outcomes and interventions
for women (and their babies) who
planned to give birth in a hospital
labour ward, birth centre or at home.

Estimates of the numbers of women booked
for home birth but delivering in hospital were even more difficult to obtain because hospital records do not always specify this information accurately and no national estimate exists.1 4 Data collected in this region in 1983 suggested that 35 % of these women changed to hospital based care either before or during
labour, and a more detailed prospective study of all
planned home births in 1993 found a total transfer rate of 43 %.8 Women were classified as having booked
for a home birth when a community midwife had accepted a woman
for home delivery and had this arrangement accepted by her manager and supervisor of midwives at any stage in pregnancy, irrespective of any later change of
plan.
In further analyses restricted to women without complicating conditions at the start of care in
labour, the adjusted odds of adverse perinatal outcomes were higher
for births
planned at home compared with those
planned in obstetric units (adjusted odds ratio 1.59, 95 % confidence interval 1.01 to 2.52).
Fig 2 Cost effectiveness plane:
planned birth at home compared with
planned birth in obstetric units
for nulliparous low risk women without complicating conditions at start of care in
labour
For low risk women without complicating conditions at the start of care in
labour, the mean incremental cost effectiveness ratios associated with switches from
planned birth in obstetric unit to non-obstetric unit settings fell in the south west quadrant of the cost effectiveness plane (representing, on average, reduced costs and worse outcomes).25 The mean incremental cost effectiveness ratios ranged from # 143382 (alongside midwifery units) to # 497595 (home)(table 4 ⇓).
In this study of the cost effectiveness of alternative
planned places of birth in England in women at low risk of complications before the onset of
labour, we found that the cost of intrapartum and after birth care, and associated related complications, was less
for births
planned at home, in a free standing midwifery unit, or in an alongside midwifery unit compared with
planned births in an obstetric unit.
Restriction of the analyses to low risk women without complicating conditions at the start of care in
labour narrowed the cost differences between
planned places of birth: total mean costs were # 1511
for an obstetric unit, # 1426
for an alongside midwifery unit, # 1405
for a free standing midwifery unit, and
for # 1027 the home (table 2 ⇓).
Profiles of resource use, and their associated unit costs,
for each
planned place of birth are reported in detail in appendices 1 and 2 on bmj.com.25 The total mean costs per low risk woman
planning birth in the various settings at the start of care in
labour were # 1631 ($ 1950, $ 2603)
for an obstetric unit, # 1461 ($ 1747, $ 2332)
for an alongside midwifery unit, # 1435 ($ 1715, $ 2290)
for a free standing midwifery unit, and # 1067 ($ 1274, $ 1701)
for the home (table 1 ⇓).
Nearly a third of women who
planned and started their
labours at home ended up being transferred as complications arose — including
for instance an abnormal fetal heart rate, or if the mother required more effective pain relief in the form of an epidural.
It could be argued that unplanned home births are similar to
planned home births which were transferred to hospital during
labour (because birth did not take place in the intended location), and that not getting to hospital in time is a risk of
planning a hospital birth, and
for this reason we have run the analysis both with and without unplanned home births (see «results» section).
