Abstract: | Two studies are described dealing with the problem of hospital admission and duration of stay for maternity care. Maternity admissions and deliveries are shown to be strongly influenced by the general availability of hospital beds; duration of stay is not affected by bed scarcity. A statistical method of assessing the perinatal mortality risk of individual cases and selecting women for hospital care is outlined. |
