METHOD: Retrospective, cross-sectional, population-based study of Taiwan~s National Health Insurance claims data, covering all 739,531 vaginal delivery-eligible singleton deliveries during 1997-2000, using multiple logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: Adjusted for maternal age and geographic location, FP district hospitals (almost all non-teaching), followed by ob/gyn clinics were significantly more likely to perform request CS (OR=3.5-2.3) than public and NFP teaching hospitals. Among non-teaching and teaching hospitals, FPs were more likely to perform request CS than public and NFP hospitals (OR=2.3 and 2.5, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings are consistent with greater propensity of physicians in FP institutions to accommodate patient requests involving revenue-maximizing procedures such as request CS. This effect is moderated by teaching hospitals~ preference for complicated cases, consistent with their teaching mission and hi-tech infrastructure. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=13349 ------>authors2=Lin HC ------>authors3= ------>authors4= ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Xirasagar S ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Maternal request CS--role of hospital teaching status and for-profit ownership. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2006 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=1 |
