Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To estimate the change in indications for scheduled deliveries during the Ohio Perinatal Quality Collaborative's initiative to decrease scheduled deliveries for nonmedical indications before 39 weeks of gestation. METHODS:Documented indications for scheduled deliveries between 36 0/7 and 38 6/7 weeks were categorized as: strong medically accepted reasons for delivery; intermediate acceptability; and unnecessary before 39 weeks. We describe each of these indication categories as a proportion of all deliveries in the participating hospitals between October 2008 and December 2009. RESULTS:The percentage of scheduled deliveries that were unnecessary before 39 weeks or had intermediate indications decreased over time (P=.03). There were 145 fewer with intermediate reasons and 265 fewer that were unnecessary when the first 4 months of the project were compared with the last 4 months. Strong medical indications as a percentage of all deliveries did not change significantly over time (P=.99). CONCLUSION:Our quality collaborative reduced scheduled deliveries of medically unnecessary and intermediate indications for delivery at 36 0/7 and 38 6/7 weeks. However, scheduled deliveries with strong medical indication did not change significantly over time. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:III.
