And I agree with you, that it would be completely inappropriate to say that homebirth has lower
risk of death if the rate is say, 1 / 100
deaths, but 1/40, 000 in a hospital (obviously those are fictitious numbers used for illustration purposes)... but then you also have to account for the rate among individual OB's if you want a more accurate comparison, since there are multiple OBs typically in a hospital, being
compared to only one midwife.
