BIRTHPLACE IN AUSTRALIA: A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

在澳大利亚，关于产妇服务的安全性存在相当大的争论。《国家产妇服务审查》和《国家产妇计划》特别关注家庭分娩和分娩中心，从而提高了这一比例。本研究旨在探讨健康女性的出生地安全性。这项全国性研究将包括全国各地的妇女。这是澳大利亚第一次进行这样的研究，将为出生地的安全提供急需的证据。

There is considerable debate about the safety of maternity services in Australia. This has been increased by the National Maternity Services Review and the National Maternity Plan with particular concerns about homebirth and birth centres. This study aims to examine the safety of place of birth for healthy women. This national study will include women across the country. It is the first time such a study has been undertaken in Australia and will provide much needed evidence as to the safety of place of birth.
