1. Give an example of a research problem/question:
2. A 325 bed obstetric hospital located about 15 miles east of Elvira Hospital, had 10,200 obstetric separations in 2008. There were 7,015 live births; 138 fetal deaths; 522 caesarean sections were performed with a total of 6,967 deliveries for the year and 2 maternal deaths.
There were 3 infant deaths classed as early neonatal. 86 of the caesarean sections were seen by a consultant. Using the above information, calculate the following:
(a) Fetal death rate
(b) Cesarean section rate
(c) Consultation section rate for caesarean births
