Data from birth certificates were used to examine the pattern of obstetrical procedures used in the care of a sample of low-risk women. The data suggests that hospitals with greater technological capabilities and more specialized medical manpower have a greater tendency to use the obstetrical procedures of cesarean section, forceps delivery and drug induced labor. However, the utilization rates of these procedures also varied considerably between hospitals with comparable technology and medical staffs.
出生证明数据被用于研究低风险女性样本护理中所采用的产科程序模式。数据表明，技术能力更强且医疗人力更专业的医院更倾向于采用剖宫产、产钳助产和药物引产等产科程序。然而，在技术和医务人员相当的医院之间，这些程序的使用率也存在很大差异。
