We included term singleton pregnancies (\u226537\u2009+\u20090\u2009weeks) with intended vaginal birth, comparing a pre\u2010implementation period (January 01\u2013December 31, 2018) with a post\u2010implementation period after full adoption (May 01, 2022\u2013April 30, 2023). PCI was introduced as a multicomponent implementation strategy (training, bedside facilitation, documentation changes, and sustainment). Primary outcome: composite neonatal morbidity defined as neonatal unit (NNU) transfer plus \u22651 of: umbilical artery pH &lt;7.15, base deficit &gt;16\u2009mmol\/L, or 5\u2010min Apgar score &lt;7. Secondary outcomes: umbilical artery acid\u2013base status, Apgar scores, NNU transfer, intrapartum interventions (e.g., oxytocin, tocolysis, fetal scalp blood sampling), mode of birth, and postpartum blood loss. Outcomes were compared using multivariable regression and propensity score matching.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 4484 births met the inclusion criteria (2352 pre\u2010implementation; 2132 post\u2010implementation). Composite neonatal morbidity decreased from 4.10% to 2.92% (OR 0.67; 95% CI 0.434\u20130.958;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.0259).
