| الوصف: | A quality improvement initiative for low-risk women in Brazilian hospitals was associated with a 62% increase in the frequency of vaginal delivery. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a quality improvement (QI) initiative designed to increase the frequency of vaginal delivery in Brazilian hospitals. METHODS: Twenty-eight hospitals enrolled in a 20-month (May 2015–December 2016) Breakthrough Series Collaborative that used QI methods to increase implementation of obstetric approaches with potential to increase the frequency of vaginal delivery. All hospitals contributed qualitative data for iterative redesign. Thirteen intervention hospitals with complete data contributed to an analysis of changes in vaginal delivery in a targeted population over time. Hospitals from the São Paulo region (five intervention and eight nonintervention) contributed to a comparator analysis of changes in vaginal delivery for all deliveries over time. INTERVENTION: Most hospitals targeted low-risk pregnancies in primiparous women, delivered by hospital-employed obstetricians or admitted through emergency departments, and some included all pregnant women. The collaborative tested four interventions to increase vaginal delivery: 1) coalition building of stakeholders with the common purpose of ensuring “appropriate delivery,” 2) empowering pregnant women to choose their preferred mode of delivery, 3) implementation of new care models favoring physiologic birth, and 4) improved information systems for continuous learning by health care providers. RESULTS: For 119,378 targeted deliveries (36% of all deliveries) in 13 intervention hospitals, vaginal delivery increased from 21.5% in 2014 to 34.8% in 2016, a relative increase of 1.62 (95% CI 1.27–2.07, P |
