“…In our literature search, many studies on PPH and homebirth originated in low-resource countries [19,24,34]. However, home birth in these countries is rarely a well-considered choice by women, and frequently being the result of poverty and lack of accessibility of health facilities.…”

BackgroundAt present, there are no guidelines on prevention and management of postpartum haemorrhage in primary midwifery care in the Netherlands. The first step towards implementing guidelines is the development of a set of quality indicators for prevention and management of postpartum haemorrhage for primary midwifery supervised (home) birth in the Netherlands.MethodsA RAND modified Delphi procedure was applied. This method consists of five steps: (1) composing an expert panel (2) literature research and collection of possible quality indicators, (3) digital questionnaire, (4) consensus meeting and (5) critical evaluation. A multidisciplinary expert panel consisting of five midwives, seven obstetricians and an ambulance paramedic was assembled after applying pre-specified criteria concerning expertise in various domains relating to primary midwifery care, secondary obstetric care, emergency transportation, maternal morbidity or mortality audit, quality indicator development or clinical guidelines development and representatives of professional organisations.ResultsAfter literature review, 79 recommendations were selected for assessment by the expert panel. After a digital questionnaire to the expert panel seven indicators were added, resulting in 86 possible indicators. After excluding 41 indicators that panel members unanimously found invalid, 45 possible indicators were assessed at the consensus meeting. During critical evaluation 18 potential indicators were found to be overlapping and two were discarded due to lack of measurability.ConclusionsA set of 25 quality indicators was considered valid for testing in practice.

“…In their letter, Mammen and Sharma 1 suggest that a dose comparison study on use of misoprostol for preventing postpartum haemorrhage should have been considered rather than a placebo‐controlled trial of 600 μg oral misoprostol. As is common with many research initiatives, we know more today than when our study was conceived.…”
