[ozmidwifery] C/S Rates

[Katy O'Neill]

hello all,
    the other day someone posted 
about a 5% change in C/S rates... reminded me that 2 years ago our rate dropped 
from 28% to 23%  for the year, and the only  factor that was different 
was that a particular Obs was away for that time and it coincided with us having 
a ( female, who had children ) very  women friendly 
registrar over the same period.  While it is not professional to poo 
hoo our colleges it made me smile to hear a women say of the Obs that he was 
called Mr C/S.  How the work of one can impact so much on so 
many!    Katy.

[ozmidwifery] C/S Rates

[Jackie Doolan]

Dear all,
Is there any way in which a state's Private Hospitals Caesarean Section rate can be 
accessed legitimately. I recall that Marsden Wagner's visit in the 90's caused a stir 
because he was able to access this information and report it.  Has this changed in any 
way? How did he get this information? I noticed Mary Murphy's posting and was shocked 
by the 12% increase in C/S rates in one year.  Also is there any way to access the 
total % of people taking up private insurance within individual states from one year 
to the next?
Cheers,
Jackie Doolan

  In NSW the annual Mothers and Babies Report is available on the 
  government website. It makes very interesting reading, not just C/S rates, 
  but inductions, spontaneous labour rates, 3rd degree tears, 
  ages etc.

  I would just like to add that stats for 3rd degree tears will always 
  be under reported when drs write on suture notes this: 
  2nd degree tear with some anal sphincter involvement!!!
  This is just recorded as a 2nd degree tear on the stats sheet that 
  goes to the perinatal stats dept.
  Oh My!!

There's something similar on the Vic Dept of Health
website... give annual figures for all of that stuff
(& more) & also shows public vs. private.
