Article Synopsis
- This study examined how the volume of operative vaginal deliveries (OVDs) at hospitals in California from 2008 to 2020 affects adverse outcomes for both birthing individuals and newborns.
- It categorized hospital OVD volume into low (less than 5.2%), medium (5.2%-7.4%), and high (7.4% or more), finding that lower volume hospitals had a higher incidence of complications such as obstetric anal sphincter injuries and adverse neonatal outcomes.
- The research utilized extensive data from birth certificates and hospital records to analyze trends, highlighting the need for improvements in obstetric care based on hospital performance.
