(This hospital having a problem transiting to a new database)
(satisfying that most of these are born in level 6 hospitals)
(large hospital serving very wide catchment)
(suggests weight more likely to be recorded If it looks as if it might be a problem) (6 – 8 fold variation)
(high-risk pregnancies seem to be making it to a hospital with a NICU)
This hospital has some adherents to the view that best outcomes are achieved at around 39 weeks (greater than 2-fold variation)
Huge variation! We are worried about the data quality for this one.
(checked – but clearly a high-intervention hospital)
Consistent with high use of CS
Not far apart geo- graphically either!
May need checking
(4-fold variation, but more in level 6 hospitals)
(has fewer sections overall)
Controversial indicator! (Mounting evidence of under-reporting – especially of partial third degree tears )
(same hospitals high for selected primips)
(reasonably consistent across members)
(small numbers, excess of 4?)
