Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality in Birth Centers in the United States 2018–2021: An Observational Study of Low-Risk Birthing Individuals
(Abstracted from Birth 2024;51:659–666) Professional organizations, including the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, American College of Nurse-Midwives, and American Academy of Pediatrics, support informed decision-making when choosing a birth setting—whether it is at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital. Freestanding birth centers accredited by the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers (CABC) only provide intrapartum care to those with low risk factors for a physiologic birth, excluding at-risk pregnancies.
