While attention to antenatal care is increasing, excessive medicalization is also becoming more common.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>The aim of this study is to compare caesarean section (CS) frequency and ultrasound scan utilization in a public model of care involving both midwives and obstetricians with a private model in which care is provided by obstetricians only.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Design: Observational population-based study. Setting: Reggio Emilia Province. Population: 5957 women resident in the province who delivered between October 2010 and November 2011. Main outcome measures: CS frequency and ultrasound scan utilization, stillbirths, and other negative perinatal outcomes. Women in the study were searched in the public family and reproductive health clinic medical records to identify those cared for in the public system. Outcomes of the two antenatal care models were compared through multivariate logistic regression adjusting for maternal characteristics and, for CS only, by stratifying by Robson\u2019s Group.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Compared to women cared for in private services (N\u2009=\u20093,043), those in public service (N\u2009=\u20092,369) were younger, less educated, more frequently non-Italian, and multiparous. The probability of CS was slightly higher for women cared for by private obstetricians than for those cared for in the public system (31.8% vs. 27.1%; adjusted odds ratio: 1.10; 95% CI: 0.93\u20131.29): The probability of having more than 3 ultrasound scans was higher in private care (89.6% vs. 49.8%; adjusted odds ratio: 5.11; 95% CI: 4.30\u20136.08). CS frequency was higher in private care for all Robson\u2019s classes except women who underwent CS during spontaneous labour. Among negative perinatal outcomes only a higher risk of pre-term birth was observed for pregnancies cared for in private services.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The public model provides less medicalized and more guidelines-oriented care than does the private model, with no increase in negative perinatal outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2393-14-72","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,17]],"date-time":"2014-02-17T19:00:24Z","timestamp":1392663624000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Public and private pregnancy care in Reggio Emilia Province: an observational study on appropriateness of care and delivery outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Laura","family":"Bonvicini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Silvia","family":"Candela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Evangelista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Bertani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Morena","family":"Casoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annarella","family":"Lusvardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonella","family":"Messori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Giorgi Rossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"979_CR1","first-page":"77","volume-title":"European Perinatal Health Report \u2013 Health and Care of Pregnant Women and Babies in Europe in 2010","author":"EURO \u2013 PERISTAT","year":"2013","unstructured":"EURO \u2013 PERISTAT: European Perinatal Health Report \u2013 Health and Care of Pregnant Women and Babies in Europe in 2010. 2013, 77-83.
