Abstract

Health care organizations that offer more delivery services are assumed to provide better quality of care, and a higher rate of cesarean section (CS) is generally assumed to be an indicator of poor quality of care. This study analyzed whether the volume–outcome relationship in delivery services, measured by the rate of CS, differed depending on the risk status of delivery patients.
