Sources of influence on pregnant women's preferred mode of delivery in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Intrapartum obstetric care in the United States military: Comparison of military and civilian care systems within TRICARE
ConclusionDirect care has a higher vaginal delivery rate but also a higher rate of common complications compared with purchased care. Study of direct and purchased care systems in TRICARE may have potential use as a surrogate for comparing obstetric care between salary‐based systems and fee‐for‐service systems in the United States.

“I don’t know what I was expecting”: Home visits by neonatology fellows for infants discharged from the NICU
ConclusionsHome visits allowed neonatology fellows to examine how their discharge preparation did, or did not, meet the family's needs.

Hospital ‐ownership status and cesareans in the United States: The effect of for‐profit hospitals
ConclusionThis research suggests that women who give birth in for‐profit hospitals are more likely to have cesareans than women who give birth in not‐for‐profit hospitals. This information is important to women when deciding where to give birth. Knowing which hospital characteristics are associated with a greater likelihood of cesarean is helpful since hospital cesarean rates may be difficult to find. These findings are also informative for obstetric professionals, who can implement improvement initiatives to decrease cesarean rates and improve the overall quality of care for childbearing women in the United States.

University women's and men's mindsets surrounding postcesarean birth: Findings and implications for practice and policy
ConclusionGiven the current primary cesarean rate of ~20%, the current childbearing generation will be facing cesarean and postcesarean birth decisions in appreciable numbers. The relatively high VBAC preference rate reported by our participants, particularly men, is useful in advocating for expanded access and practice. From a constructivist perspective, evidence of young adults’ mindsets and misconceptions surrounding postcesarean birth is valuable for developing effective educational interventions. (Source: Birth)
