Abstract (English)  :

Objective:

to develop an intrapartum intervention scoring tool which could be used to define maternity units as either `lower intrapartum intervention’ or `higher intrapartum intervention’ units. This scoring tool was designed to form the basis of a comparison of the perception of risk by midwives working in either `lower intrapartum intervention’ or `higher intrapartum intervention’ units.

Design:

three aspects were included: (1) the systematic data reduction of the St. Mary’s Maternity Information System database used by 11 maternity units to include Caucasian nulliparous women suitable for midwifery-led care; (2) the calculation and the ranking of frequency distributions for the following interventions/management: (a) the management of breech presentation and of one previous caesarean section, the choice of home birth; and (b) augmentation of labour, use of electronic fetal monitoring, use of epidural, method of delivery; (3) the sum of the individual intrapartum ranking marks made up the final intrapartum score for each unit.

Results:

intrapartum interventions varied considerably between units. The scoring system enabled units to be described as either `Lower intrapartum intervention’ or `Higher intrapartum intervention’ units.

Conclusions:

routinely collected computerised data can be used to identify the outcomes of intrapartum care. This study suggests that the analysis of computerised data could provide a suitable basis for the audit and the comparison of intrapartum interventions for the care of women suitable for midwifery-led care.
