Maternal Geographic Residence and Obstetric Care Access in Relation to Delivery Method Among Individuals With Low-Risk Term Births in the United States
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate how maternal geographic residence and access to obstetric care influence delivery methods among individuals with low-risk term pregnancies in the U.S. Their analysis revealed that residents in rural and limited-access counties had higher rates of nonspontaneous deliveries, particularly labor induction, compared to those in urban and full-access areas, suggesting that disparities in maternity care access may affect delivery practices.
