- PreviewThe recent study by Grünebaum et al1 demonstrated statistically significant, although incremental, increases in the unadjusted rates of total neonatal mortality in midwife-attended birth center births (0.59 per 1000; n = 39,523) compared with midwife-attended hospital births, particularly among nulliparas and gestations longer than 41 weeks.
