StatisticsFrom: Dr. Ainsworth (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Thu Sep 28 22:28:42 2006
For those of you who are statisticians, I have a "simple" question or maybe I'm just simple-minded. What is the correct way to calculate your primary cesarean rate? For example, if I deliver 100 patients this month and 20 are primary cesarean sections and 20 are repeat cesarean sections or successful VBACs, is the correct calculation of the primary rate 20/80 %% or 20/100 = 20%? It seems to me that the denominator for the primary rate needs to be the pool of patients who have a trial of labor and have not had a previous cesarean section, i.e. 100-20€. Is my logic correct or am I missing something here?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
