Do Cesarean Delivery rates rise when the economy declines? A test of the economic stress hypothesis
2020, Economics and Human BiologyCitation Excerpt :Since the information about birth is self-reported, measurement error is a potential concern. Compared to the population data (see Elferink-Stinkens et al., 1992), the rates of CD (Fig. 1) in the Lifelines sample are lower, suggesting that the CD might be underreported which might lead to underestimation of the effect of regional unemployment. Further, the estimation strategy is based on the assumption that the measurement error is not correlated to the regional unemployment level as such correlation could potentially bias the estimation results (Wooldridge, 2010).
Change in primary midwife-led care in the Netherlands in 2000-2008: A descriptive study of caesarean sections and other interventions among 789,795 low risk births
2014, MidwiferyCitation Excerpt :However, most high income countries nowadays have CS rates that are much higher than the WHO recommendation (Betran et al., 2007). Although in the Netherlands the CS rate has also risen substantially since the 1980s, it has not risen above 15 per cent until now (Elferink-Stinkens et al., 1995; Kwee et al., 2007; Stichting Perinatale Registratie Nederland, 2011b; EURO-PERISTAT, 2013). An important factor contributing to this relatively low CS rate is the maternity care model in the Netherlands (Bais et al., 2001; Kwee et al., 2007; Christiaens et al., 2013).
Trends in obstetric interventions in the Dutch obstetrical care system in the period 1993-2002
2007, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :The Dutch obstetrical care system is markedly different from all European and other developed countries in the world. Traditionally it had and still has a high rate of home deliveries and a low CS rate [6]. The Dutch obstetrical care system is characterized by a well defined distribution between primary and secondary care.
