“…Thirteen of the 53 studies [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] compared the care provided by midwives with that provided by doctors working in a team with midwives. On meta-analysis, no significant difference in the antenatal hospitalization rate was found between care provided by midwives alone and that provided by doctors working with midwives (RR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.79-1.13).…”

A taxa de cesariana de 2,2%, quando comparada com estudos internacionais com taxas entre 0,8% e 7,1% 7,8,10,15,16,17 , constitui um resultado positivo, bem abaixo da média nacional e dos valores recomendados pela OMS, em torno de 10% a 15% 23 .…”

“…Visto que a taxa de cesárea nas instituições, que atendem pelo SUS, em 2000 foi em torno de 24% 20 , a taxa alcança-da no estudo mostra que a assistência no CPN, como estratégia para reduzir a taxa de cesárea, é eficaz. Os estudos comparativos na literatura entre grupos de mulheres admitidas em Casa de Parto e grupos de controle encontraram, entre os grupos, não somente menores taxas de intervenções, inclusive taxa de cesáreas, como também maior satisfação materna com a assistência e os resultados perinatais, que não diferem entre os grupos 6,7,8,12,13,14,17 .…”
