How do pregnant women use quality measures when choosing their obstetric provider?
DiscussionWomen's lack of interest in available quality metrics is driven by differences in how women and clinicians/researchers conceptualize obstetric quality. Quality metrics are reported at the hospital level, but women care more about their choice of obstetrician and the quality of their outpatient prenatal care.

Client ‐Related Factors Associated with a “Less than Good” Experience of Midwifery Care during Childbirth in the Netherlands
This study was part of the “DELIVER study” where mothers report on the care they received. We used generalized estimation equations to control for correlations within midwife practices. Forward multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to model the client‐related factors associated with the experienced midwifery care during childbirth.
ResultsWe included the responses of 2,377 women. In the multivariable logistic regression model, odds of reporting “less than good care” were significantly higher for women who experienced an unplanned cesarean birth (OR 2.21 [CI 1.19–4.09]), an instrumental birth ...
