Well, no. Medical interventions that save lives are not clock-based but skill-based. An emergency C-section works just as well at 41 weeks as it does at 40 week

Well, no. Medical interventions that save lives are not clock-based but skill-based. An emergency C-section works just as well at 41 weeks as it does at 40 weeks.
Time-based medical interventions include, for example, inducing labor if the doctor doesn’t think it is starting fast enough. Those are associated with complications, although usually not fatal ones.
- Strilanc 5y agoBut are the complications from the intervention or from the reason-the-doctor-is-worried-and-intervening? You're implicitly comparing P(complication|intervene) with P(complication|not intervene) but you should probably be comparing P(complication|intervene and want_to_intervene) to P(complication|not intervene and want_to_intervene).
