  • Key factors influencing hemorrhage risk included maternal age, body mass index, and specific intrapartum variables, emphasizing that calibration of the predictive model is more crucial than simply its discrimination ability.

Article Synopsis
  • The rising rates of Caesarean sections (CS) in the Netherlands, particularly among healthy women, have raised concerns about whether better outcomes are achieved for mothers and babies.

  • By developing and testing a tailored strategy in select hospitals, the study seeks to promote better practices and potentially reduce unnecessary CS occurrences while maintaining neonatal outcomes.
