Inter-hospital and inter-disciplinary variation in planned birth practices and readiness for change: a survey study

Abstract: Background How the application of evidence to planned birth practices, induction of labour (IOL) and prelabour caesarean (CS), differs between Australian maternity units remains poorly understood. Perceptions of readiness for practice change and resources to implement change in individual units are also unclear. Aim To identify inter-hospital and inter-professional variations in relation to current planned birth practices and readiness for change, … Show more

“…The conflicting findings as discussed above may reflect differences in clinical practice of IOL 35 , 36 , 37 among different settings and raise the concern of external validity regarding the findings of previous studies. In 2020, 22% of women who had IOL gave birth by CS in Australia.…”

“…After adjusting for potential confounding factors, similar increased likelihood of primary CS following IOL was found at 37 weeks (paras: aRR = 1.52, 95% CI 1. 35 For the secondary analyses of a different reference group (only beyond the gestation of birth following IOL, up to 41 +6 weeks), an increased likelihood of CS was found at 38 weeks (aRR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.08-1.16) and 39 weeks (aRR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.05-1.12) for nulliparas, and at 37 weeks (aRR = 1.53, 95% CI 1. 37 CI 1.14-1.40) for paras (Figures 2 and 3).…”

“…Primarily illustrating geographic differences in healthcare utilisation, atlases have been produced in multiple jurisdictions over many years [1]. They range widely in terms of breadth and depth of clinical areas covered (Supplementary Table 1) and their approach also features in more focused studies in the peer reviewed literature [2][3][4][5][6]. Despite significant adoption of the atlas approach, evidence demonstrating its impact on actually reducing clinical variation is limited [7,8].…”
