Planned Community Birth and Birth Outcomes
While the risks of perinatal outcomes and likelihood of interventions were generally reduced in completed community births, transferred deliveries had higher odds of most perinatal outcomes and interventions. Misclassifying transfers as hospital births may mask risks associated with planned community births. These risks should be clearly communicated during patient counseling and considered in policy decisions.
