Do patients with high-risk pregnancies and complicated deliveries have an increased risk of maternal postpartum readmissions?
The rate of patients with high-risk pregnancies and complicated deliveries is higher among postpartum maternal readmissions. These data might suggest more cautious postpartum care for those patients.
Pediatric centers with low extracorporeal membrane oxygenation average annual case volume had significantly higher mortality and a minimum volume of 22 cases per year was associated with improved mortality. We suggest that this threshold should be evaluated by additional study.
