Development of a large-scale obstetric quality-improvement program that focused on the nulliparous patient at term

Article Abstract:

An alternative approach is designed to assess obstetric quality and improvement that focuses on treatment of a standardized population of women who are having their first delivery and the implementation of the same method in a large hospital network. The balanced set of measures adopted such as nulliparity, term, singleton, and vertex patients are helpful to collect over a large and diverse hospital system and works towards achieving quality-improvement program.

Is there a useful cesarean birth measure? Assessment of the nulliparous term singleton vertex cesarean birth rate as a tool for obstetric quality improvement

Article Abstract:

A study to assess the utility of the nulliparous term singleton vertex cesarean birth (NTSV CB) measure as a quality improvement tool for use at the hospital level is illustrated. It is concluded that NTSV CB rate is strongly influenced by elective obstetric practices and the addition of an easily performed maternal age adjustment makes it the most promising CB quality measure for use at the hospital level.

Transvaginal placement of cervicoisthmic cerclage: Report on pregnancy outcome

Article Abstract:

A study was undertaken to review pregnancy course and outcome in 56 pregnancies after the placement of a cervicoisthmic cerclage transvaginally. The results indicate that the placement of transvaginal cervicoisthmic cerclage was associated with favorable pregnancy outcome and may be considered as a suitable safe alternative to the transabdominal cerclage.
