This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

This book was released on 2014-05-11 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) describes vaginal delivery by a woman who has had a previous cesarean delivery. For most of the 20th century, once a woman had undergone a cesarean delivery, clinicians believed that her future pregnancies required cesarean delivery. Studies from the 1960s suggested that this practice may not always be necessary. In 1980, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Conference Panel questioned the necessity of routine repeat cesarean deliveries and outlined situations in which VBAC could be considered. The option for a woman with a previous cesarean delivery to have a trial of labor was offered and exercised more often in the 1980s through 1996. Since 1996, however, the number of VBACs has declined, contributing to the overall increase in cesarean delivery (Figure 1). Although we recognize that primary cesarean deliveries are the driving force behind the total cesarean delivery rates, the focus of this report is on trial of labor and repeat cesarean deliveries. A number of medical and nonmedical factors have contributed to this decline in the VBAC rate since the mid-1990s, although many of these factors are not well understood. A significant medical factor that is frequently cited as a reason to avoid trial of labor is concern about the possibility of uterine rupture-because an unsuccessful trial of labor, in which a woman undergoes a repeat cesarean delivery instead of a vaginal delivery, has a a higher rate of complications compared to VBAC or elective repeat cesarean delivery. Nonmedical factors include, among other things, restrictions on access to a trial of labor and the effect of the current medical-legal climate on relevant practice patterns. To advance understanding of these important issues, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the Office of Medical Applications of Research of NIH convened a Consensus Development Conference on March 8-10, 2010. The conference was grounded in the view that a thorough evaluation of the relevant research would help pregnant women and their maternity care providers when making decisions about the mode of delivery after a previous cesarean delivery. Improved understanding of the clinical risks and benefits and how they interact with nonmedical factors also may have important implications for informed decisionmaking and health services planning. The following key questions were addressed by the Consensus Development Conference: 1. What are the rates and patterns of utilization of trial of labor after prior cesarean delivery, vaginal birth after cesarean delivery, and repeat cesarean delivery in the United States? 2. Among women who attempt a trial of labor after prior cesarean delivery, what is the vaginal delivery rate and the factors that influence it? 3. What are the short-and long-term benefits and harms to the mother of attempting trial of labor after prior cesarean versus elective repeat cesarean delivery, and what factors influence benefits and harms? 4. What are the short- and long-term benefits and harms to the baby of maternal attempt at trial of labor after prior cesarean versus elective repeat cesarean delivery, and what factors influence benefits and harms? 5. What are the nonmedical factors that influence the patterns and utilization of trial of labor after prior cesarean delivery? 6. What are the critical gaps in the evidence for decisionmaking, and what are the priority investigations needed to address these gaps?

This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the Healthy People 2010 national goal to reduce the cesarean delivery rate to 15 percent of births each year, this century has set record rates of cesarean deliveries. When the national rate of cesarean delivery was first measured in 1965, it was 4.5 percent, in 2007, almost one in three women in the United States (U.S.) delivered by cesarean (32.8 percent cesarean delivery rate in 2007). With almost 1.5 million cesarean surgeries performed every year, cesarean is the most common surgical procedure in the U.S. Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) emerged from the 1980 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference on Cesarean as a mechanism to safely reduce the cesarean delivery rate. VBAC proved to be an effective contributor to reduce the use of cesarean through the early 1990s. From 1990 through 1996, the VBAC rate rose from 19.9 to 28.3 percent and the cesarean rate declined from 22.7 to 20.7 percent. Since 1996, VBAC rates have declined sharply, to the point where over 90 percent of women with a prior cesarean will deliver by repeat cesarean. While primary cesarean accounts for the largest number of cesarean deliveries, the largest single indication for cesarean is prior cesarean accounting for 534,180 cesareans each year, thus the safety of VBAC remains important. The degree to which cesarean deliveries and VBACs are improving or adversely affecting health remains a subject of continued controversy and uncertainty. This systematic review was conducted to inform the 2010 NIH Consensus Development Conference to evaluate emerging issues relating to VBAC. An evidence report focuses attention on the strengths and limits of evidence from published studies about the effectiveness and/or harms of a clinical intervention. The development of an evidence report begins with a careful formulation of the problem. The Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) systematically reviewed the relevant scientific literature on key questions relating to VBAC assigned by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Planning Committee for the NIH Consensus Development Conference on VBAC: New Insights, the National Institutes of Health's Office of Medical Applications of Research (OMAR), and further refined by a technical expert panel (TEP). Ultimately, two background questions and four key questions were reviewed for this report: What are the rates and patterns of utilization of trial of labor after prior cesarean, vaginal birth after cesarean, and repeat cesarean deliveries in the United States? What are the nonmedical factors (provider type, hospital type, etc.) that influence the patterns and utilization of trial of labor after prior cesarean? Background questions will be addressed in the introduction of the report with information from reputable sources; however, these data are not part of the systematic review process. Key Questions include: 1. Among women who attempt a trial of labor after prior cesarean, what is the vaginal delivery rate and the factors that influence it? 2. What are the short- and long-term benefits and harms to the mother of attempting trial of labor after prior cesarean versus elective repeat cesarean delivery, and what factors influence benefits and harms? 3.What are the short- and long-term benefits and harms to the baby of maternal attempt at trial of labor after prior cesarean versus elective repeat cesarean delivery, and what factors influence benefits and harms? 4. What are the critical gaps in the evidence for decision-making, and what are the priority investigations needed to address these gaps?
