Differences in maternal and perinatal outcomes between Dutch and non-Western women in a midwife-led care setting: a retrospective cohort study
Maternal and perinatal outcomes differed between low-risk non-Western and Dutch women in a midwife-led care setting. Among non-Western women, perineal laceration occurred more often, and fewer children with high birthweight were born. In the prenatally referred group, women of non-Western ethnicity had decreased odds of cesarean section. Gestational age and postpartum hemorrhage were not significantly associated with ethnicity.
