Abstract

[Extract] Racial disparities have been shown to increase the likelihood of low-risk caesarean (LRC) among non-Hispanic black or Hispanic people compared to white people.1 In a cross-sectional study, Clark et al2 compared the caesarean birth rates of black and white women at low risk for caesarean birth across hospitals that were categorised into low, medium and high proportions of black women. LRC was defined as a term, singleton, vertex and live birth in women without prior caesareans and without high-risk diagnoses. Hospital categories were created based on the proportion of black women giving birth at a hospital.
