Yes, I did.
>For women without medical complications who can be served in either setting, the study concluded that midwife-directed prenatal and labor care results in equal or better outcomes for the mother and newborn.
Women with medical complications don't start at the birthing center to begin with. That's of course part of what I stated in the beginning that the data is corrected for at-risk patients. You compare the healthy people who choose birthing centers against the healthy people who go to hospitals. Unhealthy people only go to the hospitals, but they aren't counted against.
