Main outcome measure A composite primary outcome of perinatal mortality and intrapartum related neonatal morbidities (stillbirth after
start of care
in labour, early neonatal death, neonatal encephalopathy, meconium aspiration syndrome, brachial plexus injury, fractured humerus, or fractured clavicle) was used to compare outcomes by planned place of birth at the
start of care
in labour (at home, freestanding midwifery units, alongside midwifery units, and obstetric units).
The study was a prospective cohort study with planned place of birth at the
start of care
in labour as the exposure (home, freestanding midwifery unit, alongside midwifery unit, or obstetric unit).12 Women were included
in the group
in which they planned to give birth at the
start of care
in labour regardless of whether they were transferred during
labour or immediately after birth.
Before the analysis of the outcomes, the co-investigators and independent advisory group agreed to modify the analysis plan to include additional analyses of outcomes restricted to women without complicating conditions at the

There were marked differences between planned places of birth
in the proportion of women with complicating conditions identified by the attending midwife at the

in labour (table 1 ⇑).
There was no difference overall between birth settings
in the incidence of the primary outcome (composite of perinatal mortality and intrapartum related neonatal morbidities), but there was a significant excess of the primary outcome
in births planned at home compared with those planned
in obstetric units
in the restricted group of women without complicating conditions at the
start of care
in labour.
The primary outcome was a composite of perinatal mortality and specific neonatal morbidities: stillbirth after the
start of care
in labour, early neonatal death, neonatal encephalopathy, meconium aspiration syndrome, brachial plexus injury, fractured humerus, and fractured clavicle.13 This composite measure was designed to capture outcomes that may be related to the quality of intrapartum care, including morbidities associated with intrapartum asphyxia and birth trauma.
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.

in low risk women without complicating conditions at the

in labour was associated with significant cost savings and a significant decrease

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 ⇓).
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 ⇓).
