Regression analysis, adjusted for confounding variables, was performed for the primary outcome variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The rate of oxytocin augmentation, epidural analgesia, and postpartum hemorrhage was significantly lower when labor started as a planned home birth. Differences in the rates of other primary outcome variables were not significant. The home birth group had lower rates of operative birth and obstetric anal sphincter injury. The rate of 5\u2010minute Apgar score &lt;\u00a07 was the same in the home and hospital birth groups, but the home birth group had a higher rate of neonatal intensive care unit admission. Intervention and adverse outcome rates in both study groups, including transfer rates, were higher among primiparas than multiparas. Oxytocin augmentation, epidural analgesia, and postpartum hemorrhage rates were significantly interrelated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study adds to the growing body of evidence that suggests that planned home birth for low\u2010risk women is as safe as planned hospital birth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/birt.12150","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,23]],"date-time":"2015-01-23T00:34:44Z","timestamp":1421973284000},"page":"16-26","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Outcome of Planned Home and Hospital Births among Low\u2010Risk Women in Iceland in 2005\u20132009: A Retrospective Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Berglind","family":"Halfdansdottir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing School of Health Sciences University of Iceland Reykjavik Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander Kr.","family":"Smarason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences University of Akureyri Akureyri Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olof A.","family":"Olafsdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing School of Health Sciences University of Iceland Reykjavik Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ingegerd","family":"Hildingsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Mid Sweden University Sundsvall Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Herdis","family":"Sveinsdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing School of Health Sciences University of Iceland Reykjavik Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"Cd000352","article-title":"Planned hospital birth versus planned home birth","volume":"9","author":"Olsen O","year":"2012","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.f3263"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.srhc.2012.10.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.d7400"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0031-1272971"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1523-536X.2010.00458.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2009.09.037"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.2010.tb03422.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1503\/cmaj.081869"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1523-536X.2009.00322.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340802199903"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2013.06.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2393-12-130"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1523-536X.2012.00531.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jp.2010.12"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2013.06.025"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2014.03.047"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e3182319737"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2009.02175.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e3182172a97"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1523-536X.2010.00422.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_1","unstructured":"Embaetti landlaeknis.Hlutfall heimafaedinga af ollum faedingum a Islandi 1980\u20102010 [Home Birth Rates in Iceland 1980\u20102010] [Internet].
